In my opinion, this is ridiculous. It's all about money. Fritz is not the best
program. It's really easy to beat a computer nowadays, all you must do is play
some anti-computer strategy, like E. Nemeth has showed this here many times, and
he's not a GM... Kasparov just beated Fritz easily when he wanted to win the
game.

I really don't like the criteria used to choose the human opponent - just being
#1 rated player... because Kasparov is not interested in winning or losing, he
just needs the money.

Taking a player like Radjabov or Ponomoriov would be by far more interesting as
a match. Take Kortchnoi for a great match! He would crush the machine... and
accept no easy draws!

Kasparov would loose to a Pepsi machine if paid to loose. Well, he has already
been kicked by the Pepsi machine anyway...
