Human vs Chess engines

[tsmiller1]

When do you think we'll start seeing people like Anand, Topalov, Carlson, etc. playing Rybka, Stockfish, etc? You'd think they'd want to give themselves a big challenge and see what they can do. Have there been any matches with the big names playing chess computers since Michael Adams got crushed by Hydra?

How many points do you guys think Anand would score in a 24 games match with Deep Rybka 4 running on the best possible PC configuration?

The only place where humans have a chance now is correspondence chess.
I guess that Anand would score 9/24 against Rybka on a cluster (but anyone's guess is as good as mine).
I think that the humans will have to adapt and play anticomputer chess if they want to fare well against computers (the really high level GMs don't seem to want to change their game).

Yes..... interesting. The GM's aren't for the most part playing anti-computer stuff...... Curiouser and curiouser.....

I think that we shall have to wait rather long for such matches. The top GM's are able to keep up with Rybka, Stockfish etc. by simply trying not to loose, but this would mean that they change their playing style completely with rather negative consequences in coming chess tournaments against human players.
