Then it is a shame that they will not be playing the same game that Deep Blue
and Kasparov played.

Unless I have misunderstood the contract, this is a modified version of chess to
that defined by the standard rules, which nowhere states that because one side
knows that the game is drawn with perfect play then it shall be declared a draw
- even if the other side does not know or cannot demonstrate it.

I would have left it to the players to behave appropriately in simple KBvKR
endings etc, but KRvKRP, KQPvKQ certainly has plenty of play.

This is the commercial companies show so they can agree the rules of the
contest, but they do not own and cannot redefine chess - I hope.
