Simply have a single computer program play against 12 different GM's at long time controls. Once as white and once as black. You could calculate its rating as if it would appear on the FIDE rating list. If it aceived a rating at least a rating of 2500 and also a TPR of 2600 over those 24 games then you would have an excellent argument that the program is of GM calibre. Provided all 12 GMs above played each other as well then a human meeting the above criteria would earn the GM title. In fact for the average human he needs a 2600 TPR over 27 games since a valid GM norm can only be obtained in tournaments of at least 9 rounds and most need 3 GM norms. Lets relax the condition about the GM's playing amongst themselves because its not going to happen. Currently at long time controls no program has a TPR of 2600 over 24 games. FIDE dont need to apporve any of this. Just takes some enterprising chess programmer to fulfil the above.
