In general I don't have a problems with that, since it's a question of mixing apples and oranges anyway IMO. The dutch chess championships have illuminated the problems concerning such an event. The man vs. machine events are more suited for exhibitional purposes and I don't think it'll hurt the programmers especially. They'll still have ample possibilities to test their programs against GMs. Sincerely, Mogens
