It's going to benefit those interested in computer programs and the programmers
themselves. Not strong human players. I think 99% of all GM's prefer to play
against other human beings. Why would anyone want to play against a computer?

If they're already superior then this doesn't make sence.

That's the problem. Computers haven't leraned opening and endgame play. I have
to read a book about the sicilian defense and use it in games to improve, while
a computer only needs a file called sicilian.pgn.

Then there's another question. Commercially available to whom? If you can buy
it, it's commercially available, which doesn't limit the hardware at all.
