I know that arnold hasidovski got 3 draws against computers in the Israeli
league and his rating was only almost 2200.

It will be interesting to find the weakest human in human-human games who can
beat chess programs in a match.

I hope to see a company invites everyone to play against their program in the
following conditions:

1)The players should pay 200$ for playing a match of 6 games at tournament time
control.
2)The players get 2000$ if they win the match and 1000$ if they draw the match.

The idea is to attract only weak players in human-human games who believe that
they can beat the program.

I guess that the money is not enough to convince the strong GM's and is not
enough to convince weaker players unless they believe they have practical chance
to get at least 3-3 against the program.
