That has always been a possibility. I don't think that the chess software
providers would be satisfied with this solution as it's very likely that most
the games would be computer vs. computer anyway. They won't be able to prove
anything, since there a lot of reasons why the GMs may not do their best, or
treat it with sufficient severity.

Could work. Now we only need a robotic arm to make the moves.
