I don't think that's a very good suggestion. It sounds more like a circus show
than chess IMO. If computer programs are going to compete in tournaments with
human players in the future, they'll have to abide by restrictions, whether they
or you like it or not. Different hardware classes won't increase the interest in
any way.

Computer programs in computer tournaments and human players in their tournament.
This chould be spiced up with a couple of invitational tournaments where
computer programs are allowed to participate under restrictions determined by
the GM's or IM's. The Israeli league is very uninteresting unless you really
can't get enough of computer chess.

Best wishes...
