It would be a complete joke if a stranger would be operating the engine in the actual match as well or not allowed to modify settings between games.

As I once explained to you, different methods of engine-engine matchups measures different things. Each method has its weaknesses and strengths. A lot of games with inferior setup isn't necessarily better than fewer games with optimal settings. A combination is clearly better, but it won't happen. >It's a match word it any way you choose to make it seem like a >tournament, but it's still a match. A match that has a number of >elements absent from regular events. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here. The final match between Kramnik and the challenger will be in tournament format roughly similar to ICCA events and DB-Kasparov. Mogens.
