It is just another stupid idea.  Either use the last WCCC result, or else
at _least_ use the hardware that will be used against Kramnik.  Otherwise the
exercise is 100% pointless.  If the games are going to be played on a single
dual, to select the best "deep" program to play Kramnik, the logic escapes me.
If a student of mine proposed such an experiment, I would have to fail him.
