Great! I did not think about removing the "take back" command.

Looks like my mind is still not free enough. :)

Of course. The organizer cannot state in their contract "the program given to
Kramnik 3 months before the match must be able to lose exactly in the same way

They cannot do that, so we have a zillion of possibility to avoid the trap in a
fair and indiscutable way.
