I fully support this. However, the programs have dominated the tournament scene. CTiger and DJ at Dortmund are just a couple of examples of single computer at events (games counted for event score) where the Human GM's could not imporve based on early GM moves in the event (programs have good learning also). Short matches and months of preparations for a single machine plus the ability to get a quick draw seem to be the mechanism to equalize top GM's with courrent commercials. Long matches, long games, tournaments and little preparation benefits the programs on hw of 3Ghz or faster. Just my thoughts, I still think more of these events would be interesting and provide more discussion here.
