(don't know how, or chesstiger is >not allowing them) I gave the reasons in a response to Dan earlier. Simply stated: human gm players _know_ they will never face a computer in a rated FIDE event. Since it is explicitly not allowed by recent FIDE rule changes. Therefore preparing for a computer is a poor use of time when they have to contend with Kasparov, Kramnik, Shirov, etc. Until computers can play in real FIDE events, they won't be taken seriously as a GM will not be willing to commit the necessary time to study them and learn the specific weaknesses most programs have. If you want to see GMs take notice, start allowing computers into FIDE events, and allow the computers to actually _win_ the cash prizes. That will get attention, and quickly.
