The Money does not matter here ;as Garry or anybody else is just not strong
enough to do the job.The late matches were not puppet matches ;The reason Fritz
and Junior looked bad in the games they lost is because these 2 programs are
not particularly good against humans.But they do well against other programs.
Indeed this is a point that is not understood by many people here .That is a
program like Fritz may be better than say program Y by 100 elo points in
the SSDF list but program Y may be beeter than Fritz by 100 elo points or more
when matched against humans.Garry should in my opinion play against
CHESSMASTER.Then he stands no chance of winning.
