nothing more than a "sign of the times."  Here in the US, computers can
be a member (Crafty is, for example).  But tournament organizers have
the
power to allow or disallow computers.  Almost all tournaments are now
advertised with the (NC) [no computers] qualifier.  Years ago we had
Cray
Blitz play in most any tournament we wanted.  No more.  Welcome to the
club.  It is mostly fear, however, not sound reasoning that leads to
this.
The machines are not yet kicking the GM's out of first place.  yet...
