An enthusiast looking at published benchmarks is going to have a very different idea about what "highly-tuned" really means than the guys in the trenches spending lots of time profiling and making hardware sing.

This isn't a computerization of the game, its a computerization of the recording of the game. Big difference and has nothing to do with computer chess engines. It could be used to detect cheating by comparing played moves to engine l
