Sorry I took it as a typo based on the context of the rest of the post,
where you offer Ferret as a challenger for Morovic.

Anyone who is willing to let their program play 6 games against a GM
at 40/2 is an idiot. - this is line where I thought you meant to type
"not willing"

Now I'm curious. Why do you think only an idiot would
offer his program to play a GM?

My thoughts are that programmers have nothing at all to lose.
Even a lopsided result in favor of GM Morovic, which I doubt will occur, could
provide some clues on improving your program.
