The time will [?] come when the top human GMs are no match at all for
chess-playing computer programs.

When that time comes, it will become necessary to give the humans a handicap,
such as allowing them to have a silicon helper.

But that time is [?] not yet.

Let Kramnik and Kasparov suffer a little bit more for now.
