Go up one level in this thread


Computers are better tactially
Humans are better positionally

Computers never tire and make a slip
Humans sometimes have nice long range plans

Top level humans do not play anticomputer chess very often.

But I think the strongest programs are probably pretty close the the strongest
humans even on a 2 GHz personal computer, which is pretty amazing.

We don't have enough computer/human interaction to make a certain statement
about strength.  But tournament results show that the best computer systems can
compete with the best humans.
