I understood that it is not going to be truth and the programmers are allowed to change the program before the match when the condition is that they send regular updates to kramnik and if they send changes some minutes before every game he has no time to learn the changes. Unfortunately I am afraid that it is impossible to do productive changes in the last moment so the only chance of the programmers to do something without using some tricks that mean not giving the program to kramnik is to do the program weaker. I do not think that something that is 50-100 elo weaker than the top programs of today has chance against kramnik so my conclusion is that the match is not interesting and the result (a win for kramnik) is known.
