Go up one level in this thread


     Fritz winning this tournament is a wake-up call to GM's.
   Computer domination is still some way off, the humans will
   have to come to grips with the fact that computer are a real
   threat and have to be given respect that they were not previously
   considered worthy of.
      There are only a handful of near GM strength programs out
   there, and it's just a matter of treating them the same as any
   other GM. The humans will keep tabs on how each program can be
   beaten.
      When the end finally does come and the programs take over as
   the top players, it's not the end of the world. Do they allow
   fork lifts in weight lifting competitions?
