And not to call it "I People vs Computers World Chess Team Championship" would have been better too. In general it is fine that such tournaments and matches are organized to gain public interest for computerchess and sponsors for possible future events. But this looks like a closing sale of World Chess Championship titles - IMHO. Cheers, Gerd >Then, they could >have included Shredder too.
