I think that by chenging the rules we can help humans also later without
changing the fact that it is a fair game.
For example we can let both sides to take back moves when for every take back
you get less 1 minute and your opponent get 1 minute more.

There is no reason to stop human-computer events unless computers can win humans
in every game that humans can play.

The question is when the programmers are going to be good enough.
If they are good enough they can develop a program to beat the world champion
for every game that humans can play.
