AFAIK they initially wanted Shredder (with Hydra and Fritz), but then Junior won
the Comp's World Championship, so they preferred Junior over Shredder. As far as
I did understand, replacing Fritz by Junior was not an option, because it is
*the* main product of one of the sponsor companies in spain (AFAIK a chess
software distibutor or something similar).

When they'd play 4 GMs versus 4 comps, people come asking "Hey, where's Tiger?"
:-) That would be endless. Where's King? Why not Hiarcs?...
