Clearly it's cheating to use computers in pure human chess tournaments or to use humans in pure computer chess tournaments. However, I'd find the idea of a hybrid tournament (human+computer vs human+computer) to be fascinating.
Imagine the challenge of excelling in searching the space, evaluating positions, selecting strategy, etc when it'd be legal to creatively combine human and computer capabilities in the game.

- tubbzor 14y agoThis has been the norm since computers could play board games. I read Blondie24[0] about a year back about 2 guys who build a complicated neural network for a checkers program which teaches itself to play by playing against itself and is eventually entered into 'Human' tournaments. It's a really fast read even if you have no experience in AI. There is also Deep Blue[1], which is famous for once defeating Garry Kasparov in a high profile match.

- DanBC2 14y agoDeep Blue was one computer against one human. The comment you're replying to is suggesting teams with two members: Computer A and Human A VS Computer B and Human B. Thanks for the link to the Blondie24 book!
- KC8ZKF 14y agoInternational correspondence chess allows, or at least does not forbid, using computers for analysis. Most serious players use them. http://www.iccf.com/ http://www.iccf.com/
