As a user, I would love a truly knowledgeable program that was smart enough to give real training advice, like taking lessons with a human master. Current programs seem only to be able to give tactical advice. In fact at this point upgrading is pretty pointless, since they are already better than I am tactically, but can't tell me squat about how to plan or look at strategic considerations. As a final point, I would say that people have no reason to fear computers becoming superior at chess. It will happen, but games between humans will be as difficult and as challenging as ever. So what if any PC can beat you, human chess players will still understand and appreciate the insane skills of great human players. The car didn't make the footrace obsolete either.
