(It was quite a short list.) The Aegon tournaments are the best source for games between GMs and computers, but the time control was faster than 40/2. Even so, if you look at those games, the GMs finished comfortably ahead. On the other hand, those tournaments were played 2-3 years ago, and today's faster processors would give the GMs a better fight. Here are some upcoming "man vs. machine" events, all to be played at 40/2. Yermolinsky-Hiarcs 7 (6-game match scheduled for sometime in June, I think) WCCC top 4 finishers vs. team of four 2600+ GMs (Vaganian, Lutz, Van Wely, ???) "Rebel challenge" (monthly game between Rebel and a GM) --Peter
