GM's should no longer play vs computer programs in public
a) not with their own style because of too much defeats and
their reputation
b) not with the "do nothing" style: is boring too look and bad
for GM's and their skill if accustomed against human players
GM's should of course analyse and play vs the computer programs
at home for training purposes. What I will say is that it's a
complete different matter for a GM to play vs a computer or vs
a strong human opponent.

This would surely be advisable.
