The question was never if computers were going to be definitively more effective players than humans but when. Since we are roundabout this stage, is there really any point in paying Kasparov 750000 USD to play a computer program? Who and how to recoup that money? The article on Chessbase is terrible. I do not even know who Mig is talking to though it seems to be FIDE financing this absurdity. And what is the point of an annual human versus computer championship? That is not going to last past 2010 when computers will never fail a match and chess will be neatly filed in the AI drawer along with draughts and forgotten. Chess is not even a very good choice in showing how computers can perform intelligent tasks that humans can since it is so limited. In fact the example of chess failed since it conquered Chess by thinking very unlike humans. How did that help us?
