I think really all that needs to be done is to stop promoting man vs. machine
matches as if they were "against your typical home computer" -- I may be able to
buy Fritz or Junior, but I don't have an 8- or even a 4-processor machine with
all the other bells and whistles.

The "home grandmaster killer" is still a long way off, and is what most
laypeople are really interested in (but feel due to recent news coverage that we
have already acheived.)
