You can only speak for yourself. Do you really think all the tournament players/corr players care about machine vs machine games? Can you even imagine that they just *might* be interested in ideas from a chessprogram that they can use in games vs other humans? At least this is a possibility - yes? Speaking for myself, I welcome this development, i.e. making the programs play more "humanlike" chess (without the human tactical errors of course). Junior is very interesting here - giving up material in cramped positions in order to free the game etc. /S
