1. You put to much weight into the Computer Chess World Championship. IMO

2. It was my understanding Shredder could have played, but chose not to enter.

3. Shredder is out of the picture, So all we have to write about is Fritz, as
Fritz beat Junior for the right to play GM Kramnik.

4. I have little doubt that Fritz is as good if not better then Shredder in all
aspects of the game.
