I like to observe and try to see the move before they play it, or if they play something else I can try to understand why. I can save the game in PGN and then analyze it if something caught my attention. Studying how strong players play is the best way to improve, IMO. You can play also play against them of course, and they give lectures, or running commentary and analysis of games in big tournaments, etc. Why would you want to go somewhere where there are only amateurs, children, and cheaters?? It's also entertaining to watch humans vs. computers, e.g. Hawkeye vs. any computer. Just amazing. And of course since you are here you have an interest in computer chess, so you can watch humans vs. these programs or the programs against each other.
