But until they start... I believe that the COMPS are not GMs. However, the results clearly indicate and will continue to do so even more in the future, that most COMPS can cover GM norm in a normal competition. The reason for this is, as you very well know, that COMPS see and exploit many short term, tactical errors. Humans make those errors all the time … if the human players played open positions then the results are going to be even more devastating. Open chess positions invite more tactical nuances. Therefore I believe that human players are doing the right thing by avoiding open positions when playing against COMPS. It will take time until humans get a hang of it! Until then .. lets sit back and see who is going to be the next victim. I sympathize with the human players and don’t feel emotionally or other ways attached to the computers on the other side of the chess table. ;-) regards. hristo
