If there is to be a man-machine match which will generate publicity/money, then we will need a qualifying tournament (only if Fritz is not the current World Computer Chess Champion). You recall the qualifying tournament in April of 2001 on Cadaques where Fritz played Junior. Shredder boycotted the tournament because it was already the WCCC and should have automatically played Kramnik. http://www.chesscity.com/Features/fritz_junior_4.htm The above address will take you to a page which recalls some of the controversy.
