Yes.

When the negotiations started I proposed Tiger and the organization accepted
Tiger should play Loek van Wely. Then unexpectedly the main organizer died and
the status of the match became very unclear. Months after I was informed the
match to continue, the new organizors proposed Rebel again, same old story and I
accpeted. Much has to do with the nature of the event, part of it is to promote
the city of Maastricht and the dutch nature of the event.

Gandalf will play Lithuania, the program needs a good introduction to a wider
audience.

Tiger, this program is reference I would say, it doesn't have to proof anything.
Yet the first new challenge that will occur will be the domain of the Tiger.
