Watching the games between Smirin & the computers has been great fun. But after Wednesday's make-up game, it will end. Perhaps all the publicity generated, both for the programs and for Smirin, will serve as motivation for far more such matches in the near future. It would be great to have such a match, using a different GM each time, say every month from now to eternity. We spectators would benefit. The GMs would get a little money and a lot of publicity. The programs would get publicity. Chess would benefit in general. It can lead to more players and more buyers of programs. (And, IMO, it would also speed up the rate at which GMs learn to play computers better.) Maybe the top 5 or 10 GMs don't need the extra publicity, but I'll bet many of the next 50 would likely welcome it. Monthly matches forever!
