i believe the highest level of chess today to be super GM with two or more programs running on seperate pcs that is using these programs as assistance, and is motivated to win, playing long standard game, where time is not an issue. i believe the second highest level of play to be, games such as correspondence games, even by lower rated players, where the move time is three to four days per move. i also believe that a GM or super GM can be beat 7 out of 10 games, or more, with this second type of play if the GM is not using a program for assistance. for this second type of play, lets say that we have three comps with a different program on each move. for the first move out of book we let the program think to about depth 20 to 25. then we play each move of this line out on each program, to see if each program stays with first main line, with thinking to depth 20 for each move. also when the programs disagree on moves, these moves can be swapped on each progam to see eval change and then decide on which move is best, based on eval of each program. by spending time working out each line with two or programs, move by move, and then analyzing variations in each line that the programs disagree on. it seems that this type of play would be very hard for a GM to win without program assistance. question: what is your opinion on the win 7 out 10 games. also what is your opinion on best way to get best line using three pcs, with three programs, with no time issue. kburcham
