I don't think any of the top computer programs can come close to passing a turing test. There is a well known class of positions that are easy for humans, but hard or impossible for computers. The programmers of the top chess programs have invested little effort to change this for the simple reason that such positions are relatively rare and the net effect of trying to deal with such positions would only serve to weaken their programs. I would not be surprised if the CCC membership could easily devise a test consisting of 10 positions, which virtually any strong human would solve 10 of 10 and the top programs would solve 0 of 10. BTW, please ignore my other post in this thread. I unintentionally hit submit without writing anything. Sorry.
