Well put, Frank. Several people shouting for their favourite program doesn't
solve anything or is relevant at all for the event. Actually, it's slightly
moronic to critisize the selection process by maintaining that one particular
program should be added to make everything fair. It doesn't quite work like
that.

And since it's not advertized as "Champion vs. Champion" or "Kramnik vs.
Strongest program", but as an invitational with top programs, I see little
reason to go on and on about the fairness of the arrangement. If it had been
advertized like that then it would be a question of A, B or maybe C :-).
