Not because you are a GM but because I have had several matches exactly like this. I played a fellow who has an old FIDE rating of about 2180. If he continued to play FIDE matches today he would easily be at least an IM. This person is an excellent anti-computer player and I used Shredder against him and could do no better than an even match no matter how I tried. I played Petr Kiriakov using Chessmaster 9000 and had a draw. To his credit he recovered from a very difficult position. This is why I believe someone else should play these matches against the Chessbase programs. Someone who has no fear. Of course Chessbase would stand to lose everything if an IM was chosen to play against their program and they were defeated. There are those out there who are not necessarily rated super GMs that could give as good an account of themselves as Kasparov did. I also have had many games with an unknown GM who played under the Russian Federation flag who goes by the name Messir. They were mostly 15 0 minute games and overall he destroyed me, some on time. He is also a member of ICC.com The games and specifics I refer to can be provided on Instant Chess.com. The human player's true identify will remain anonymous at his request. Many of the GMs and IMs know him personally and I have the utmost respect for him.
