Marketing of course - they are free to interprete what Quest is, depending on
the outcome of the tournament. I think, considering the Kramnik event, that is
quite understandable behaviour of a commercial company. Another example is the
95 WMCCC in Paderborn. Fritz won the former WCCC in Honkong and therefore Quest
was playing in Paderborn.
One time it happended in the opposite direction. After the dutch open 01 where
the official name was Fritz, they renamed it on their side into Quest, after
Fritz became third. But that could be an oversight from the editor :-)
