The question as I understood it was how to continue the competition between humans and machines. If the programmers do not compete then I do not see the point of it unless the target is to have better estimate of rating for humans so we can have computers with fixed rating. Today if all humans improve by 200 elo the rating is not going to change. Adding machines with fixed rating can change it. Uri
