Nice for whom? As noted, the way to gain GM status is obtaining norms against
GMs. A human GM has nothing to gain in playing a computer, and FIDE is unlikely
to make him. Thus computer entry in tournaments where GM norms are possible will
seldom if ever be allowed. And what is the point of a computer gaining a GM
title, other than to stroke the ego of the programmers?
