The above has been discussed in previous threads.

That's why people started talking about chess engines designed as anti-human
machines.

It was noted that competition between computers might not produce the best
anti-human machine.  The only way to select the best anti-human computer program
is to have a competition where all the computers played against the same group
of top GMs.  Then the program which did best against that group of humans could
ligitimately claim to be the top anti-human program.
