I am not sure about the other CCC readers, but the recent "Are computers GM strength?" has gotten me curious. Are they? One would think. But then you see a computer play a bad game, and think, "HA! A 2100 COULD PLAY BETTER THAN THAT!" So let's finalize this. In a full rules, simulated FIDE event. I am talking about the 4 top programs vs 4 2500+ GM's. Swiss tournament, standard time controls. All the good stuff. Simulate ratings, and get a decent GUESS at what, in this tournament, the computers would achieve. I would rather a 3 round swiss tournament @ 120/0. 3 games against a GM is a good gathering of performance. 12 games. See how the computers do. The summer is arriving, and a lot of GM's will be playing a lot of tournaments soon. If you'd like to help, please contact me. If you can help, PLEASE contact me. If you want to tell me what a worthless waste of time this is, DON'T CONTACT ME! NOT EVEN ON THE CCC BOARD! I don't think anyone wants to hear it. I doubt ANYONE could argue the point of a 3 round swiss. If the computers walk away undefeated, then we'll know. It could be close, it could be a killing. If ANYONE has a better idea. PLEASE SPEAK NOW! Slate
