Noone knows what have happened previously except the involved parties. Maybe BGN
wanted more money or maybe the terms were unacceptable. Who knows and who really
cares.

The important thing is having a credible execution of the proposed match. I've
explained what I meant by that. The credibility comes from the absolute
involvement of the challengers (authors and their program) as an authentication
of the serious nature of the match. And by execution I mean a fair method of
finding the challenger. That requires openness about conditions, tournament
parameters and results.

In other words a professional arrangement instead of amateur hour. Amateur hour
is currently on the menu.
