I think that most people care only about them.
I do not care about games against humans because it is clearly only a question
of time until computers beat humans at all time controls.

comp-comp is the interesting struggle and being better in comp-comp can also
help to get better results against humans.

Computer also can play for the same ideas that humans play so being better at
beating them means in most cases also being better against humans.

There are programs that can play for king attack and I do not think that you
need humans to see the problems of your program against king attack if you have
these problems.

You can let your program play against sjeng.
