If you allowed this for only the internet rounds you would get a bunch of kids with fast hands attempting to play real chess in the finals and losing horribly. If you allowed this format for the entire event the fide championship would become an advanced chess tourney, making it even more of a joke than it is now. Also, the playing field will never be even, because you can't enforce hardware restrictions when people are playing from their homes, making it a contest of who has the greatest computer resources at their disposal, not chess skills. Besides, even if you can make the argument now that a human adds to the computers strength, in 5 or 10 years this might not be true, and then it will just be a contest between the machines. -Kevin
