Indeed. And that is what you see in horse races. Horses have different skills
and run differently depending on the kind of race track. And the jockeys have
different skills.

The winner? The best jockey + horse combination.

Have you seen anyone go to the Kentucky Derby with a Donkey and complain that
its unfair?

Can I go the tournament with minimal book and complain later that my oponents
have books prepared by GM's. That can't be "computer" chess anymore. That's
human GM chess.
