Someone plays a show match, ok? And he gets 1 million dollars if he wins, right? And you want to make that point that this someone, no matter who that might be, would well be concentrated on chess, camels and his water bottle, but not on the question what the whole event should be all about? I'm trying to understand you, that's all. I won't teach you something you might be too young to understand for...

Kramnik was convinced that Fritz had earned the right to play him in a "tournament" somehow that Fritz won fair and straight. Which is simply not true! It's interesting that Ed Schröder and also Bertil Eklund are both convinced that Enrique Irazoqui did a bad job in Barcelona when he excluded (with the help of ChessBase of course) SHREDDER, REBEL, TIGER etc. And I wrote it already months, if not years ago. That Kramnik must justify his 1 million dollar prize money, I wrote it _before_ the 5th game already. Read about Realitätsverlust in http://hometown.aol.de/rolftueschen/11.html and about Kramnik in Bahrain in http://hometown.aol.de/rolftueschen/smalltalk.html > >How would you organise a Man vs. Machine event and NOT having some people say >"It's a PR action" (they of course mean, *only* PR)?? Play against an unknown >mediocre Grandmaster in a secret bunker with no media coverage at all? No, the whole technique is fantastic so far, Mike. Thanks to Fred. But the point is that Fritz is simply not the opponent for Kramnik. And I write this before I know the end result because it doesn't matter how it will end. The first 4 games proved what I said. It's simply a joke! > >Of course every activity which gets many media reports has a PR aspect. Is it a >SIN? Would you prefer chess and computer chess NEVER being in mass media? You are mistreating my wordings. I have nothing against PR. LOL. But the PR for Fritz is utter nonsense. I hope that you don't suffer from the actual 'Realitätsverlust'! Fritz is simply no opponent for Kramnik. But dreaming is still not forbidden so far... Rolf Tueschen > >Regards, >M.Scheidl
