The strengths of computers and humans differ in chess.  Humans are good at long
range planning and computers are good at short-range tactical "snacking" on
enemy pieces.  I think it will take a while for people to get a good
'cybernetic' relationship in playing the game of chess, but it could actually
result in much better play.

I like the idea, because what interests me is the soundest possible move from
any given position.  The human will see the long term benefits/pitfalls and the
computer will see the short term benefits/pitfalls.
