I think honestly most >GMs could beat it under these conditions, Kramnik will crush it. If that is still in the contract, that is an incredibly decisive edge for the GM. However, I doubt if he will have the same hardware. If the opening book is changed, it may also radically alter the behavior of the program as could other internal settings (even without changing the program). But I tend to agree with you, if he gets to fool with the program for three months in advance, that will really be a monster test for the program.
