Here is an idea: Hold the match "live" at some slow time control. Do not tell the viewers which is the computer. Conduct a live, running poll, asking which is which. Reveal the answer after the game. This would be like a Turing test, and it might be feasable now. I think those whose programs are said to be human-like, should risk it! It would be interesting!
