Smirin beated Junior,Shredder,Hiarcs,Tiger 5-3 I think that it is better to give the challange to smirin. Playing with kasparov is a bad lesson for the top chess players. They learn that they can draw a match and still get another match when a player who won does not get another match so they have no motivation to win if money is important for them. I think that the prize for winning should be not only money but priority to get another match when in case of drawing or losing the first priority should be to the best human who did not play against machines. If chesbase does not decide not to prefer kasparov for another match in case that he does not win then people are going to suspect that the human did not win the match on purpose and it is only a show event. I see that kasparov is prefered for another match after the draw against Junior and I think that it is a very bad choice of chessbase. I guess that not a lot of people are going to be interested to see kasparov against Fritz after the last draw against Junior. I expect more people to be interested to see Smirin against Fritz. Uri
