1. Of *course* a GM would play anti-comp. Only his 'anti-comp' stuff might be different from *your* anti-comp stuff. You think that Kasparov wouldn't play 'anti-Anand' stuff that is tailored to Anand? Of course he would. Just as he would play 'Anti-Fritz' stuff when playing Fritz. 2. Sure there is a point. if I can make the computer play like a 2000, then the computer is *not* a GM. Do you think there is *any* way I could make Kramnik look like a 2000? If the point is to evaluate the computer *as an opponent*, then the weaknesses of that opponent are fair game. 3. Maybe, but then the result is meaningless. Just as meaningless as asking 'Is anyone here capable of playing a King's Gambit and sacrificing a full piece to mate toe computer's black king on h8?' and then trying to extrapolate that information to something else. The simple issue is 'Can anybody here beat the 'best' program on a 1 GHz box at 40/2?' Any other limitations artifically weaken the human, and make the test meaningless.
