Interesting new thought in this context (and with a subtle irony in your words,
if I understand it right).

As I am much more used to play computers than people, I think I have this
emotion against humans. So, if I should ever play a tournament, maybe I'll
refuse playing against them and play the computers only...

But to be serious: I doubt if the top priority of a master who refuses to play
against a computer, is still chess? If I were in their place, I'd compete with
whomever or whatever is put in front of me at the other side of the board. I'd
play the devil himself and give him a hell of a game. I may loose, but still
call myself a chess player.

Regards,
M.Scheidl
