I think we're still a while aways from that. There are still alot of holes in
computer play.

>than who will play it look like no more computer vs human event to me am i right
>or not

There will always (at least for about 25 years IMHO) be a give-and-take between
computers exposing more chess knowledge, then top players using this knowledge
against each other and against computers. Something like what happened in
checkers, if I understand it correctly. For example, after Chinook played
against Marion Tinsley (far and away the best human player) in their first
match, some things were discovered, such as holes in opening book theory that
were used to prepare for the second match against Tinsley.

So I think that there will be interest in Comp-GM matches for a while to come.
