Just before the Ultimate Computer Chess Match began, [[Rybka]] author [[Vasik Rajlich]] criticized the lack of an open, formal qualification procedure of the FIDE event, and preference of [[ChessBase]] engines, and challenged the winner with a $100,000 prize fund, even offering odds of a game in a 24 game match <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14159 Open Letter & $100,000 challenge to FIDE] by [[Vasik Rajlich]], [[CCC]], May 31, 2007</ref> <ref>[http://www.rybkachess.com/docs/ChallengeToFIDE.htm An Open Letter and $100,000 challenge to FIDE President Kirsan N.
