This is not fair.

Programs should not be allowed to compete without the agreement of the
programmer and I believe that the programmers in most cases
are not going to compete in these conditions.

I do not think that christophe have a problem to compete
against humans with the palm but to compete with regular tiger,
achieve the GM norm and later to compete with inferior hardware
does not make sense unless the inferior hardware is a new
unrated player.
