There's no incentive besides money in playing against a computer. If the computer (program) loses there's going to be tons of excuses ranging from a bad opening book to a overheated processor due to a fan failure in a crucial moment of the match. If the program wins there'll be nothing but disgrace and ridecule to the loosing GM. It's a no win situation. If I were a GM I wouldn't play unless there's a lot of money involved. Even then I wouldn't prepare for days. Best wishes... Mogens
