But then, who's going to pay for it? :-)

I think probably several programs got a raw deal here.  But the bottom line is
that unless it was a chessbase program to face Kramnik, the tournament would
never have happened.

Like the Deep Blue matches, the main importance is publicity.  A million dollars
has not been ponied up out of pure curiosity.

IMO-YMMV
