So would the world champion bass fisherman be the man who uses a line or the man who uses a 50 foot net? When you compare apples and oranges, you cannot get a straight answer. There is nothing wrong with having a Human Only Championship, a Human-Machine Championship, a Machine Only Championship, and a Human/Machine - Human/Machine hybrid (i.e. advanced chess) Championship. It's when people one day declare that a computer is world chess champion that I wonder what they are thinking. We do not state that a motorcycle is the world sprinting champion. There is nothing wrong with having different types of championships, but the World Chess Championship implies a human endeavor without over the board assistance (to me). KarinsDad :)
