really you mean should people be allowed to play for the title of world champion
since deep blue made a child out of kasparov .
but id say really they should be allowed ,but they would have to play say a
qualifying tourn with computers like the computer world , so in reality it
should be shredder.shredder should get a shot at the qualifying tourn to meet
the world champion .i really dont think it could fight its way through but it
deserves a shot , a lot of the people in there would score less maybe .
