Of course, computers also find good moves that a human would never think of, and they're a great help in analysis, but what I want to demonstrate is that they don't "play chess". As the above games show, they have passed the capturing test, but they're a long way from passing the Turing test. In spite of all the blustering about Kramnik who will "defend humanity's honor against the computer" (Der Spiegel) and "gain revenge for the human race" (The Telegraph), his upcoming match against some Fritz has, apart from the money involved, no more significance than a match between a cat and a book for the greatest weight. As a defender of humanity's honor, I prefer Nemeth." Regards.
