Advance chess may only be a flash in the pan, but as a chess fan, i love it.

I disagree that with advanced chess, people will be reduced to a program
operator because humans and computers approach chess so differently. Our
strength (intuition) is exactly the computers' weakness. The computers' strength
(speed of calculation) is exactly our weakness. Having the two work together
seems like a match made in heaven. Even when computers become 3000+ elo, I'm
pretty sure any gm will still trash me in advanced chess.

Human intuition plus computer speed equals higher quality games. As chess fans,
isnt that what we want to see?
