I am surprised nobody picked out the reoccuring theme in this long time control
tournament.....*DRAWS*

What I believe Ed is proving is that computer chess will very soon become
Drawish chess...

No tactical errors = Drawish Chess

Therefore, based on this assertion about the future of computer chess it will
not be much longer before the best a human can do against a computer program is
a draw !

For patzers like myself getting a draw is tough enough !  I can only imagine
playing on future hardware similiar to playing at one (1) hour per move time
increments on todays hardware.  Tough to catch them in a tactical error if they
can see a move horizon far beyond even the strongest brain calculator such as
Tal or Alekhine !
