I think it is better to give humans excess to endgame tablebases instead of not
giving the computer excess to endgame tablebases.

I do not like doing things that reduce the level of the computers.

If humans think that computers are too strong it is better to help the humans
and not to reduce the level of the computers.

I do not think that programs are too strong and I think that there is no
justification to give humans equal conditions about tablebases.

Other possible idea for the future when programs become stronger are:

1)Letting humans to use chess books(computer programs are also allowed to do
it).

2)Letting humans to move pieces in another board and to write notes to help them
to play better.

3)Letting both sides to take back moves in the game when for every take back you
have less 5 minutes on the clock so you cannot take back moves forever or in
time trouble.
