I hardly consider anyone with 2400+ a "weak" player.

I'm of the opinion that anyone who's over, say, 2400 and is willing to play an ugly game of chess can probably find an effective anticomputer method. It's getting harder and harder to do, but I still think it can be done. That 2602 was based on playing humans, and as we all know, that's totally different than playing machines. http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess2/honor.htm http://www.angelfire.com/on/anticomputer/ I just think that alot of GM's who are playing these computers wouldn't want to play "ugly" chess.
