Subject: Let's define GM

Author: Danniel Corbit

People seem to want to discuss whether or not a computer program is a GM or not.

The FIDE list does not contain any computers.

Computers are not FIDE GM's.

Hence, if we want to talk about computers being GM's or not, we need some new
kind of definition.

What _exactly_ is a computer GM?

Being able to beat one seems pretty irrelevant to me.  I'll bet once in a while
GM's lose to their kids because they are not paying attention or whatever.

If we do not know what we are discussing, then the discussion seems rather
pointless.
