You have a really neat idea there!  [A way to identify the most "human-like"
chess computer] Select fify or 100 excellent games played between the top GMs in
the last year or two.  Then let each chess computer have plenty of time [at
least 5 minutes per move] to deliberate over each of the positions in those
games.  After all is said and done, then the Chess Computer which predicted the
largest number of GM moves "wins" and is declared some sort of "champ."
Ideally, find a sponsor with lots of money!  [Preferably several million
dollars.]
