I think it's mostly too new for there to be much precedence.  You could break
new ground.  If you look at the Kasp/Deeper Blue event, don't look at the
success of the match as an event, because that success was in the advertising
that it got for IBM (an opinion), but look at the criticism of how the match was
handled, and the complaints of Kasp, in order to avoid those problems.
