Maybe if anybody thinks their computer can win a category 19 or higher, they should first beat the world champion in a match. Getting a computer match against a world champion is difficult but apparently can be done. It's been done twice. Getting a computer into a category 19 or higher probably can't be done. If you have a million or so US$ for sponsorship, you could probably get a computer into a tournament of that strength, but you probably couldn't persuade FIDE to rate it, or give it a category. The strongest tournament a computer has played in was the last Netherlands championship. There was much controversy there, and i doubt it will happen again.
