Bob,

Even you say that computers would get the title if allowed to play in FIDE
tournaments.

"I suspect that _if_ FIDE allowed computers to compete and earn the title,
computers would have an easier time than humans.  For the key reason of
consistency.  They don't get tired, nor have bad days.  They lack some important
skills, but the consistency might be enough to offset that.  If the rules were
changed to say "2600+ over three consecutive events" it might be harder, but if
a computer plays in enough tournaments, it will probably produce three of those
over some long period of time, simply by the Elo statistical variability."

Your words Bob.  :)
