I am simply saying that it would be no great feat for this program to win, if it is nurtured to face one particular GM, when if this same program were to face a player inferior to the GM, might do poorer because it has not spent 6 months preparing. As I said before, the master section in a large open tournament would be a true test of the program's strength in relation to humans. It is like what Kasparov said about Deep Blue after he lost. He said that Deep Blue would get crushed in normal tournament play, because Deep Blue was a machine taylored to defeat Gary Kasparov and only Gary Kasparov. Also, how will Hiarcs get to display its true strength, when someone, for example, has prepared theory 30 moves deep in GM x's favorite queen's gambit line. Indeed it could be said if Hiarcs one the match, that it was not due to the programs great strength, but to all the preparing humans did before the match. Jeff
