Eric Schillers correspondance shows that at least HE had concerns about NOT letting different programs participate. If they would have invited Rebel Shredder Tiger Diep Hiarcs Fritz ... before the match and would have chosen the best program by letting them outplay the best, than the credibility would have been there. the best program gets kramnik. and fights it out. but this way... its a PR campaign for a dump program. Any other program (like Shredder or Hiarcs or Rebel...) would have done better IMO. Those programs KNOW how to play when the position is blocked, when it is a closed opening. Those programs invent an idea, and do something. Fritz is a program designed to beat other chess programs. and it was never very succesfully in this area. because it most often wins because of search depth. The championships fritz won are rare, and if it won, not many others participated.
