lowering it by 100 elo is not going to help
The only way is to pay GM's to play some matches of 40 games against chess
programs and to have rating of GM's in the ssdf list.

If the ssdf suggest total prizes of 200,000$ for the best fide player who agree
to play against computers under controlled conditions when the best player
against computers gets 100,000$ second place gets 60,000$ and third place gets
40,000$ when they have to play 200 games in a year of 120/40 then maybe we are
going to see some interesting stuff.

We only need sponsors.
