You can have tiger analyse your game, then the result will be in the
game annotations, these can be printed togheter with the game.

In an article in Dutch newspaper The Volkskrant Gert Ligterink reports that
three times Dutch champion Paul van der Sterren is not against computers
participating in tournaments on principle but not in the national championship;
"That's were Dutch people should play for the Dutch title". According to
Ligterink he's not the only one with this opinion, Manuel Bosboom and Erik van
den Doel also have objections about the computer participating. If they decide
to also refuse to play against Fritz, -they could resign after one move for
instance, they would lose a point but arbiter Geurt Gijssen thinks they could
not be punished further then-, "The Beast" starts with a 3-0 advantage and that
makes it almost impossible of course for the human participants to overtake it.
Aside from that Gert writes that Jeroen Piket, who takes a more or less neutral
stand about Fritz as a participant, already finds Fritz the favourite to win.
About his prospects against it: "In an eleven round tournament I always have one
or two off-days but you can't afford that against Fritz; it isn't bothered by
fatigue and doesn't know about off-days. So I will have to be fresh".

With inviting a computer organizers the KNSB wanted to generate more publicity
(last year it was Dutch woman champion Zhaoqin Peng invited with a 'wild card'
who held herself reasonably well in the tournament) but if some  people refuse
to play, totally aside from how justified their reasons are the real fight for
the title is then of course badly influenced. So for the human part of the
tournament, which should be the most important, I believe you and Tina also said
that, I think that is a shame.
