Andy Burnett,
If play by remote were permitted in the future. You would not be allowed to refuse to play such an opponent.
There is a way round this to avoid a player using a chess engine.
It is called Screen Sharing
Player B ( The remote player) would be obliged to share their screen with the congress organizers. They can then use chessbase to show the congress organizers the position on the board. If player B tried to use an engine then that would show up on the screen in front of the organizers.
I have been using Screen Sharing for a number of years as part of my training for Braille events. I have also been playing Skype tournaments with fellow blind players for the past 2 years. Players have been caught out trying to use engines to aid them.
