Subject: Don't know what the big fuss is about: Kramnik vs DF

I really don't understand what the big fuss is about the Kramnik vs DF.  I find
Kramnik's claim of the world championship to be questionable (loser of the
candidates match, hand-picked, etc. etc.) and also DF's win over DJ for BGN to
claim it's the #1 program to match against its human champion (no direct
invitation to Shredder, short notice for anybody to get ready).

It'll be nice to see a match between the world's #2 ranked player and a top
program (not the champion), but I doubt it'll raise the level of interest of the
Deep Blue - Kasparov matches.  I don't think it'll have much significance
either.
