You don't know the history of computers Vs. GM players. This is not correct.

You don't know if anti-computer play will work until you try it. ChessTiger did
not have any problem with anti-computer play...that resulted in a loss when it
scored a TPR of 2788.

>just like using the same line to beat the comp to determine it's strength.
>3. Is anyone here capable of beating the comp under these conditions??

Anticomputer play should be used if the player wishes. You don't know if
anti-computer play will work or not. Besides there are many types of
anti-computer play, and it would not be fair to claim or not claim anti-computer
play if the human wins.

I don't think anyone here can beat ChessTiger 14 when they don't have access to
the program and opening book that will be used.
