I could answer like this: Since he's claiming that Fritz is the strongest chess
program on Earth w/o any doubt, it's obviously _not_ a serious interview. ;)

Seriously, as long as he doesn't say things which are completely rubbish (like
the 2nd best engine is 500 ELO below Fritz) I wouldn't complain. He is a
business man and has an interest in this event. Naturally he exaggerates a
little.

When there are people who believe every single word, well.. I can't help them.
