No human world champion calibre player has ever lost 10-0, or even come close to losing 10-0, much less 20-0 or 40-0, so what's the point of even asking? Even if a top human lost 40-0 to a computer, it doesn't mean anything at all. Maybe the person was sick. Maybe the programmers spiked his water. Who knows. One result doesn't mean anything. If the computers could beat EVERY human 40-0 ALL of the time, THAT would mean something. Until something happens consistently to everyone, nothing will be for certain. The only thing that is consistent right now is that top PC programs and top human players are roughly even. Russell
