They invited Shredder and the Shredder team made demands that it automatically be seeded into the finals of the winner of Fritz vs. Junior. The organizers didn't accept that, so Shredder chose not to participate. >before the match and would have chosen the best program by letting them >outplay the best, than the credibility would have been there. Well, this is exactly what happened. They didn't just pick Fritz and decide to have a match. No, they didn't invite Rebel, Tiger, Diep (?), or Hiarcs. They invited three, Shredder declined, and then there were two. >the best program gets kramnik. The best program is playing Kramnik. >Any other program (like Shredder or Hiarcs or Rebel...) would have done better >IMO. Shredder made the decision on it's own not to participate. Hiarcs and Rebel, while strong engines, have consistently been a half step behind the top engines like Fritz. Either the articles I read were wrong, or you didn't read anything about how Fritz got to be in the position it's in. Russell
