I don't think anyone's debating the point that companies DO put so much stock in the tournament. And I enjoyed watching it, but it was a short match. People who run tournaments in their basement may have more valid results of engine playing strength. By having equal hardware, longer time controls, equal books, etc., the playing field is more equal. The fact that the King did so well being an underdog is impressive, but could it be sustained over dozens more games?
