I looked at old posts of Bertil(not from the l;ast 36 hours) and found the following sentence: "Programmers are free to develop their engines until October 1st, provided that they will send regular updates to Kramnik." I guess that the first decision was that they are not free to develop their engines but I still do not see it as a big change because the main problem is the fact that kramnik is going to get a copy of the program. I totally dislike it because programs cannot get a copy of humans. If kramnik cannot beat the program when he gets only games of the programs then it simply mean that kramnik is weaker then the program. I did notice that it is a revised edition because I was angry about the unfair conditions and thought that these unfair conditions can be decided only as original edition and not as revised edition.
