Hi,

I am too involved to make comments, however I saw what follows:

1. No matter how many WCCC we win we are not allowed to face Kasparov or Kramnik
2. No matter if we are leading the SSDF list with a clear margin we are not
allowed to face Kasparov or kramnik
3. No matter nearly all tests indicates Shredder 7.04 is the strongest engine
some people still think Shredder is just as another program...
4. No matter everything Fritz is always presented as the strongest program by
F.F.

Will we ever have a chance to play against those players? At least one of them?

Then we will know...

I keep preparing that match hoping one day we will have such opportunity...
