Playing the best programs at 40/2 is already a challenge even to the very best human players in the world, and Akopian is hardly in that league (Kasparov, Anand, Kramminik, etc., etc.). FIDE Championship, these days, is a display of physical will and blitz wizardy. It has little to do with top level chess. I'd love to see a tournament involving the greatest human and the better computers, round robin, $500.000 to 1st place. Matters should be more clear, them. Regards, Cláudio.
