GM versus computer now, looks like myself versus Mephisto Berlin, back then. In an intensely serious 40/2 match, I scored 4/10, using anti-computer methods as well as I could. I thought I was better than it, and in many ways, I was. But I lost. When it comes to studying chess, to choosing our favorite players to study, etc., we will be able to prefer (H)umans for a long time yet, on the grounds of this "overall" appearance of greater intelligence, even after they are definitely overcome by the computers, just as I prefer some of the great players of history, despite their losses.
