I think this will be true for some time in the future, programs will continue to get stronger and have GM results today, however, a human can describe strategy and positional points to me that I can not get from just playing or analyzing with my computer. For me, I find both the program and a superior human player to be integral for my continued improvement. Best Regards, Chris Carson
