I have tried this with my friend bernd kohlweyer (IM 2435 ELO) and have found out that he is not faster than i am. he often underestimates programs that are strong or overestimates weak programs because he misunderstands special situations on board where HE believes that it is complicate for a program but where i know it is an easy move. so i see no real advantage in beeing a strong chess player in general. i don't think alexander kure would more often adjudicate the result of a comp-comp match better than i do, although he is a stronger chess player. he knows which side stands better. but that is often not the question in comp.- comp. matches. there you need to know what COULD happen using your experience you have with programs. and chess players do often have different exoeriences and not the time to study chess programs. even programmers do often only know their own programs very good and have problems to understand the opponent programs good. each is only interested in HIS affairs. i was e.g. much disapointed about GM Lutters comments on paderborn-championship. I think he showed with his comments that he does not understand much about chess programs. he was very often wrong with his comments and ideas about what would happen later. >--Tec
