No it is not going to be possible.
The main problem is not hardware
ssdf use 120/40 time control (180 second per move) and this tournament is almost
blitz.

I also think that usually we cannot trust tournaments in the internet because
cheating problems.

I do not see how to prevent title players to cheat and how to prove cases of
cheating by playing advanced chess.
