I think the humans would be forced to go for a win more often against each
other, to improve their chances to rank higher than the strong programs. I'd
like to add an additional rule though, that the programs shouldn't be allowed to
agree to a draw as long as the eval is better than -0.3.

I suppport the idea to add chess programs to such tournaments (again), and more
often than in the past.
