Of course the ground rules would have to be established so as to avoid cheating, yet still protecting the dignity of the GMs, bathroom breaks, food, beverages, etc., as they would recieve during human versus human tournaments or matches. Btw, on another post you mentioned that Deep Blue ran on about 64000 MHZ and you implied that we are far from accomplishing that with PCs and therefore catching Kasparov with micros is a distant dream. I dare say that the present (top of the line software, Hiarcs 7 Fritz 5.32, etc.) software designed to run on contemoprary PCs is much better designed compared to Deep Blue's software fit to take advantage of it's computing power. After all these computer programers have been working for many years in ahighly competitive environment, working with machines that they understand very well, compared to the Deep Blue experiment, which utilized cutting edge parallel processing hardware running at enourmous sppeds with software designers not having to compete with business competitors.
