Hi Fernando -- I think your idea of bringing master players home to play our computers is a good one -- especially in terms of fairness. By acting as a referee, we could make sure these players weren't using any opening books, weren't taking back moves, etc. Howver, it would be difficult for any one person to get much data in this fashion -- personally I don't have any friends who are masters (darn!), and I can't see much of an incentive for people to come over and play for hours vs. my computer. You know, possibly those interested in human-computer games should take fuller advantage of the chess servers. That is probably the only place to find enough good humans. Someone (or a group of computer chess enthusiasts with similar hardware) could test their favorate programs one by one. The challenge would be to standardize the matches to make the results comparable. For example, maybe test at only a couple of standard time controls; give the operator license to takeback mistaken move input; make the games publicly available for verification purposes. Would CCC members be interested in creating this standard? Any interest?
