Nonsens, spoken by someone who doesn't seem to get the idea of computerchess. If you find a way to beat a program, you will beat it all the time. Programs are (almost ) completely deterministic. They will make the same mistake again and again until programmed otherwise. It's a machine Gary, wake up ! ( He probably also thinks his car always breaks down just when he is in a hurry ) Ofcoarse, putting a machine on equal foot with mankind makes a match more interesting and raises the price money. You would have to make sure that this equality is kept, so don't win a match, but don't loose it either. Nah, they wouldn't do that.
