I do not know about it.
Junior played against GM's in tournaments and there was no problem.

Amir Ban is not aware to problem and there was only one case when smirin refused
to play against it in G/30

I think that it played at least 10 games against GM's
at time controls of 2 hours per 40 moves+1 hour per game
or 90 minutes per 30 moves +1 hour per game.

Maybe 5-10% of the GM's are scared to play against computers and this is the
reason that most sponsors do not let computers to play.

Do you have an evidence that the number of GM's who play in tournaments when
program are allowed to play  is significantlly smaller?(assume there is no right
to refuse to play against the computer, and assume the same prizes for humans)
