Here's my "curbstone" analysis:

1.  computers are tactically strong, positionally very weak when
compared to GM players.

2.  GM players are strong overall, but in *every* game you can probably
take a computer, go over the moves, and find at least one gross tactical
oversight.  These oversights don't always change the game outcome, but
they
are there.

3.  A GM player, with a computer assistant, won't make such tactical
mistakes,
but will still play with a GM's positional skill.  I'd suspect this will
raise
the level of play significantly.  The better the GM learns how to use a
computer, the better he will play, because he can worry less about
tactical
problems and concentrate on positional issues and let the computer
refute the
positional ideas that have tactical refutations..
