Fide Should create a New Computer odds vs GM Championship
We need to know what GM will do the best against Computer odds every year, I believe it will be interesting to see who will get this yearly Title.
Do NOT worry and be happy, we all live a short life

That seems to be a good idea indeed to create another discipline of chess to determine each year a human who is the best at employing anti-computer strategy.

What odds would you use? Time? Moves? Material? A combination of 2 of them? All 3 of them?
What engine(s) would be used? What hardware?
To be honest, something like Xiphos running on a mediocre laptop would crush most GMs at normal chess, so I don't see the point in using something like Stockfish 10 running on 64 cores. That would be total overkill. If each GM has a laptop then you can run numerous games simultaneously and each GM could play a couple of games a day.
