The Linares should include the two best programs, shuch as Shredder 8 and Junior 8 or newer version each year, but the best human will still win the match regardless if Shredder or Junior take first each year. I would almost guarantee that the human players without pressure from winning the event will perform better and probably end up in first and second each year. By including the two best programs each year we can compare the progress and increase strength of the programs and this will give us a better indication of where the two best programs stand in comparison to the elite world chess players. Since the Programs will only be there to create more pressure to the humans, and for us to compare their progress, the first place would be given to Kasparov and second to Kramnik as if the programs were not participating at all. Now because the inclusion of the programs, the result could be different in the sense that the programs would not offer an early draw unless it see no other way around. The final result could be like this: 1 Shredder 8 2 Kasparov,G 3 Junior 8 4 Kramnik,V 5 Leko,P 6 Shrivov,A 7 Topalov,V 8 Vallejo Pons,F
