1)Fritz is not 0xworld champion.
Fritz3 was the world champion in 1995

2)The rules say that kramnik play with the program that sponsors pay him more
money to play against.

If you want Kramnik to play Shredder you need to give him money for playing
against Shredder.

I only think that a match against Kramnik is wasting too much money and if the
target is to see Shredder losing then it is possible to pay less money for
another player to beat Shredder under the same conditions that Kramnik is going
to get.

I assume that the target is to see Shredder losing because I see no other point
in a match against kramnik(it seems clear that kramnik is going to win against a
known program and the name of the program is not important).

The only chance against kramnik today is to put against him something that he
never saw and cannot learn it's weakness.

I believe that chess programs are not good enough to beat kramnik under better
conditions and even against an unknown program kramnik is the favourite to win.
