I do not think this is the case. If you follow chess and the matches where a top GM plays a computer you will find most of the time it is a draw. There was an article on chessbase many years ago that showed that chess program rating had stopped growing as fast and they were leveling out just as player ratings level out.

- ca98am79 17y agoThis is definitely the case. Check out Rybka - it has been rated 3200+. No human being comes close.

- mwpolen 17y agoAfter further reflection I'm not sure my belief is wrong. The match between GM Roman Dzindzichashvili and Rybka has finished with a somewhat surprising (at least to me) score of 4-4. http://www.chessville.com/Wall/DzindziRybka.htm http://www.chessville.com/Wall/DzindziRybka.htm
- jibiki 17y agoFrom the article: "the odds were changed to - Roman gets White every game, the computer offers up a different pawn each game." So the computer gave Dzindzi an enormous handicap.
- mwpolen 17y agoI failed to make my point...sorry. A human rated 3200 would win more than 4 games even given the restrictions against a GM rated ~2550. Ratings are not as as transferrable as one would think, especially when a computer is involved.
