Yeah.
How are they going (the organizers) to get around all the tricks? If they state
in the rules that this is forbidden, we will find another trick which is not
explicitely forbidden.
It just demonstrates one thing: the condition that Kramnik has the program 3
months before the event is VOID.
It cannot be achieved. Or better, it will not achieve the goal it has been
written for. Exactly like you cannot have Kramnik 3 months before the match in
order to prepare against him.
The only thing which is left to Kramnik is to get public games from the
predecessor of the program which is going to play (for example SSDF games if the
program had the courage to enter the SSDF contest ;).
That's exactly the way humans prepare: they prepare by looking at games.
Having the opponent at hand is such a stupid idea!
