Comercial programs that >play like strong GM's is another example. I'm definitely looking forward to the day when such things exist! We will will recognize that day because non-GMs like Eduard Nemeth and Kurt Utzinger (and many others) will no longer able to score frequent draws and even wins against the programs. The computers will beat all non-IMs/GMs nearly 100% of the time, just as real GMs do today. Today, of course, there are numerous people who are not IMs or GMs but can draw and even win against the programs WAY out of proportion to what would be the case if the programs were truly strong GMs (not to mention the innumerable positions in which the computers play clearly weaker than a 2200 player). As knowledge of the techniques of those people spreads to more people and especially to IMs and GMs, the preliminary "ratings" of the programs will reflect the wising-up of their human opponents.
