Hardware or software restrictions do not make things fair.
The reaosn for the games against humans is that programmers want to get
information how to improve their program

The programmers cannot learn much if you suggest to make restrictions and forbid
using their programs in their full strength.
This idea is against the programmers.

It is better to give humans better chances by other ideas( like to give humans
more time) but not to make restrictions about the software or the hardware.
