If this is true, then the GM's are cowards. IMO-YMMV. If they would expend effort learning how to defeat computers they would not be so unnecessarily fearful of them. Even at that, though, someday the computers will be better. >I do not want to have less comp-human games when the computers have no >limitations but to have also computer-human games when the programs have >limitation about the hardware so using opening book is not a good idea because >you have less memory and cannot use big programs if you use an opening book. If the GM's are afraid to play the computers then I will be satisfied to watch the GM's play the GM's and the computers play the computers. The only regret I will have over that situation is that I won't know when the computers definitely pass the GM's. To me, the most interesting matches are between very good computers and very good humans. But if the humans don't want to play, we can't make them can we?
