I looked through the rule-work, and in general things look very sound. However, one rule is missing: Remember the match between Kramnik and Fritz. In the last two rounds draws were declared in very early stages of the games. This was not good for the spectators - and also not good for the experimental outfall of the event. Some decades ago FIDE had a 30-moves rule, stating that draws were not allowed before move 30. It did not work too well in practice because human players found ways to circumvene the rule. However, having a computer on one side of the board would give better chances for constructive realization. So my proposal is: Include a 30-move rule which does not allow exceptions. (Of course draws may be given earlier in case of threefold repetition of position and stalemates...) Ingo Althofer.
