FIDE does not rate computers. The organizers may submit the tournament to FIDE to have it rated, I assume they will. Some time ago FIDE decided not to rate ANY game from tournaments where a computer plays, so if they have not reversed that decision and they follow their own regulations strictly then the tournament will not be FIDE rated. If FIDE does not want to rate computers, I think that is ok, but I find the decision to reject a whole tournament only because a computer plays completely illogical. Now, what follows is pure speculation of mine, since I can not see the future. I expect the organizers to send the tournament results to FIDE, but without the Chess Tiger results. Of course FIDE will know that a computer played (after all it is in the news), but they will rate the remaining games among humans anyway. José.
