Bad idea???????????????? No way!

 I wish you could do it this year! Personally i would like to wait 1-2 weeks
more, if this is enough preparation for them in order to participate.

 Also even if you announce that Kasparov take part in next year(2007) i wouldn't
be interested and thrilled right now, since i don't care about things that will
or may happen in so much time from now.....I only see 1-2 months ahead:-)
 So i prefer to delay 1-2 weeks than wait for next year! But that's only me.

Of course even without humans at all, the event would be damn fantastic!
