Kasparov played a horrible move against Deep Blue years ago. Anatoly Karpov, as
great as he is blundered his Queen against Larry Christiansen (I believe it
was)very early in the game. Many amateur players would have seen that and
prevented that.
Does it mean they are not Grandmasters.......Of course not.
Programs are scoring higher and higher against Super GMs now. It is only a
matter of time. Imagine the processing strength in another 10 years at the rate
that proceesor speeds are increasing. That in conjunction with advances in the
Chess engines.
It is something to be seen.
It may become like a human trying to race against an automobile. Or a human
trying to calculate against a calculator.
The time will come.
