Although I agree that computers will eventually overwhelm humanity at playing chess, I would like to take exception to the statement "top players now need to work hard to maintain an even position with the top programs". If you look at the first half of the Kramnik-Fritz and Kasparov-Junior matches, the computers were the ones struggling to maintain the balance. In the second half of both matches, I believe that various non-chess factors such as fatigue, fear of failure etc. decreased the humans quality of play, allowing the computers to draw the match. So in my humble opinion, it's not at all apparent that we have reached the "cross over" point... at least not as yet... Just my 2c worth. Nick Cooper
