Because it is to easy to answer this questions.
You can three times answer with no.

It is enough for Kramnik when he buy the latest comercial version by a seller.
When he prepares for a human, he only can see the "old player" by seeing his
games and not the man he is playing in the match.

The competion of 2 programs is a joke.
In human chess the qualifying was always with eight players in there good times
before the new fide-"president" change the rules.

Programmers are not the operators are like steeling a mother the child.
Is the program realy in the best hands by this conditions? No
