That's the list that shows the top 20 human and computer players. Out of the 20 in the blitz list, only three are computers. This is a big difference from a while ago. Ferret plows in at #2, throwing my otherwards cool point into a spin. But you get that. My opinion is that computers rule blitz and standard games. 30/0 has been owned by silicion for a while, and now it seems that 60/0 has fallen too. As a geek and a terrible chess player, I look to computers to visit revenge on those better than me. Call me petty and shallow - I can take it. Before I start telling my co-workers and friends that GMs are a doomed species, I'll need more than a few 60/0 games. But we're very close. Just look at Rebel. It's winning some games from GMs at 40/2 - go Ed! But it's losing quite a few too, sometimes to mistakes and bad judgement that GMs just do not make, and that I believe is Bob's point. I must add, that the 'best c' list in standard is 100% human.
