Kasparov goes to the CEBIT, the biggest computer show on earth (as they claim) and plays two games against FRITZ in a booth of Windhorst Electronics (which sells absolutely nothing connected with computer or chess). How Windhorst Electronics and Chessbase are connected, nobody knows. Fact is, Hannover with the CEBIT exhibition is only 100 miles away from ChessBase, Hamburg. So ChessBase took the opportunity to bring Fritz around. In the neighbour booth AMD tried to sell AMD K5 and K6 processors with incredible noise. So Kasparov played 2 games against FRITZ, two games against a well known German movie star, who lost one them in 15 moves and the other in 19, and one game against the German secretary of the interior, who played much better, and lost around move 32. So what???? Forget your nonsense and see this as public relations event of Kasparov and Fritz, both of them, but please nothing else!!!!!!! Seifriz/gambitsoft.com
