Snipped

*they will send regular updates to Kramnik. The idea is to avoid the
DB-Kasparov scenario, in which Kasparov had no idea of the opponent.**

What does this mean?  Kramnik will know how the winner will play? In a
competition to find the better program, the winner will be obvious.  It is the
one with more points at the end of the contest.  In his last match with Kaspy
did Garry show him all his latest moves?  So, why should Kramnik, be allowed to
look over the shoulder of the, to be determined winner?  If I was the programmer
of the winning prog, I would want some surprises.
