If one side has the right to consult the second side should also get the right to consult. I think that a match of a program that use more than one processor against human who can consult with nobody can not show superiority of the machines relative to humans. If the target is to find if machines are already better than humans then there is no reason to have a match between parallel version of Shredder or Junior or Fritz(4 processors) against kasparov when kasparov has no right to choose team of 3 humans that he can consult with them.
