thank to a link highlighted by Heiner Marxen in another thread, I found an
interesting paper by  althofer. Reading it i was impressed by this:

... snip
Originally I had intended to play some match with List-3-Hirn against a Top-10
GM in 1998 (and another match against the human World Champion in 1999 or 2000
...), but the masters are no longer interested. One of them was so honest to
tell me that money was not the key point for his decision to reject my match
offer, but that he felt that the use of chess computers changed the character of
the game in a way he did not like. After this reaction I decided to stop my
experiments.
...
this extract exprime very well the feeling between GM and comps

are the GMs boycotting computer science? (just kidding ;-)
