If there are Grandmasters that think a program will become world champion then they don't have a very clear idea what they're talking about. The game of Chess itself is between 2 people. Once a program enters the picture, that's a different story. Having a human Chess world champion and having a computer Chess world champion are 2 different things completely. Pete
