Wait... wait... a strange trolly feeling is coming over me:

Perhaps The Evil Empire could pay their stooges FIDE to run a tournament between
Fritz, Deep Blue, Kasparov and Fischer. The SSDF could run the comp-comp games,
but their ratings would be meaningless as who runs Deep Blue on such outdated
hardware these days? Fritz would be hampered by having to run on the illegal
monopolistic M$ operating system, but we could probably solve that by mass
piracy of Windows XP. Although the human contestants would probably have an
unfair advantage by being allowed to sleep at nights between games, that could
be fixed by running them with a bad version of the Autoplayer, and clearing
their hashtables after each move.

PS: I'd really like to see Kasparov or Fischer's hashtable algorithms.
