What is the problem Tord ?
You are confused with a influence of economic power and its links with media
power ?

This is a very old story, with with much worse consequences (read: lethal) for
many human beings than this simple and small lie about Fritz being the world´s
best chess program.

Why are you making scandal because of this little lie while you don´t see or
don´t want to see big media lies ?

Finally, what will have:
the 6th world´s player will play against the 6th world´s program.

Is it OK now ?

I think it is, because the program N.1 should play against the player N.1.

OK ?

So be good, and behave.
