The biggest advantage the computers have (IMHO) is that they never blunder. Humans always run the risk that they will miss something, and lose the game as a result. Computers (at least within their horizon) don't have this problem. This is why Kasparov said he accepted a draw in the last game against Deep Junior - he was afraid he'd blunder again and lose the match. Against a human opponent if you blunder, there's always the chance that your opponent will return the favor - especially if there is a chance for counterplay. The computer will just eat you alive. So... I propose a Blunder Factor.. a small chance of error on every move. It would certainly make for more inreresting games against humans. I'd love to see some of these monsters fight back from a stupid mistake. Don't ask me how to implement this.. just thinking out loud...
