the way was always a sports-event.
like human chess championships.
when i remember the championships i see that there was always luck,
but also very often the strongest programs winning the title or sharing
it.

remember ChessMachine with ed's madrid-version winning.
remember stefan in jakarta.
remember stefan in paderborn :-))) whatever you remember anyway :-))
remember 1993 hiarcs in munich
...
...

the programs won, and they were , as far as i know, really stronger.

so what ??

its the same in tennis, in motorsports and in human-chess. you have the
championships and you have the rating-lists.
i don't see any problem.
