Forget that nonsense with a GM. It may be interesting to do a mtach between the best chess program of 2010 and GM's from the position after the moves 1.d4 h5 I believe that the program has good chances to win the match. The position after 1.d4 h5 is not good for black but winning with white is not easy from that position and if black plays well later then the GM may make mistakes when black can improve slowly it's position in order to win in the endgame. I think that it may be interesting to give chess programs to play in fide events when the programs start the game in bad positions(for example it is interesting to know what is the rating that programs can get when they start with white without Nb1. Humans are never going to be afraid that computers are going to get the first place in strong tournaments under these conditions so I see no reason not to allow programs to play at least under these conditions. note that I do not believe that programs can get 2400 or even 2300 without a knight and I guess the rating of today's programs is going to be lower than 2200 but I believe that they have chances to get fide rating of more than 2000 without a knight. I guess that if you start games after the moves 1.d4 h5 computers are going to get rating of clearly more than 2300 and they are going to have chances against GM's. The GM's can get more than 50% against computers better at these conditions but it does not mean that it is impossible to beat them under these conditions at least 1 game out of 100. Uri
