The latest I read, from Mig here somewhere, was that his Team has the software,
and that his second is currently working with it.
This is the wonderful sort of thing that the Biggest Chess Matches are made of,
arguing about conditions & stipulations, up to & even during the match. If we
are real lucky we get claims of SHENANIGANS during and after the match.
My favourite match, which I read about much later was Karpov-Kasparov I (1978)
("Shenanigans the flavour of the Yoghurt" "Shenanigans Amanda Marga"
"Shenanigans ParaPsycologist" and the match result was officially decided in the
courts 3 years later).
This one's warming up nicely, we even had cries of Shenanigans in the match to
find the computer challenger, and we have inexpert media reporting, "have you
the software" "I havn't got the software yet" (truth? a half truth?
shenanigans?).
