They all know more about chess than any commercial or amateur program. ° The most important difference between such human amateurs and the progs is not their chess but the huge opening books stuff. No amateur is able to know the details of so many openings. ° If such a human expert meets a computer program (with the books) he normally has no chance - exception if he could prepare special anti-computerchess. ° IM start around 2400! With 2150 you are lightyears away from IM. IM know all about chess. Know openings until move 30 into the endgames. The main difference to GM is only the lack of eidetics and/or personal problems or lacks in chess. ° The hybris in computerchess with the belief that machine's numbers (mainly through the books) are identical with their chess strength is very irritating. Again, human experts from 2100 upwards know more about chess than machines. But only the GM with eidetics (not all have it of course) have a chance to deal with the machine's books. ° Interesting law: the better the human, say GM, the less interesting he will find anti-computerchess. Hence the less successfull he might be in show acts. But of course companies like ChessBase will never invite 'Eduards' to play. They invite 'Kramniks'. ° Personal wish: CC knowies should learn to have more respect for human chessplayers from 1900 upwards. They all know very much about chess and more important are able to play good chess 'live', not guided by displayed evals. °° The idiocy that commercial CC is already at 2700 or more is ridiculous. See my challenging theory of the outcome if real GM once started to develop _real_ anti-computerchess. °° If PC chess progs had to qualify in human tournament chess from the base upwards chessplayers would start to develop methods of resistance in terms of chess.
