Previous tournament records are >usually available, providing data to analyse an opponent's play beforehand. Yes but the opponents learned from the games and are not the same. Humans can do the same against programs by looking at previous games of previous version of the same program. Getting more than it is clearly unfair because humans do not get more than it against other humans. If kramnik ask that the program is going to play in a tournament before the match in order to prove that it deserved to play against him then it is fair. Asking more than it is unfair. Uri
