I very very much disagree. Getting the final engine is unfair.  You are giving
the best player in the world 3 months to play as much as he wants against
EXACTLY what he will be going up against.  That is incredibly unfair.  Kramnik I
think will crush it under such conditions unless the Fritz team does something
sneaky.
