The real question is whether or not these top programs can play in the 2500-2600 Elo range. If so, they can be considered Grandmaster level. Your suggestion is valid. However, we need to find one, two or three Grandmasters who have about a 2600 Elo rating and are willing to play Rebel 10 on the same hardware it used against Anand. Is there a third party sponsor out there who would financially support three eight game matches at 40/2? I have little doubt that Rebel 10 would be willing. I have considerable more doubt that there will be three GM in the 2600 range who will show an interest. Come on!! Prove me wrong!!
