The best chess programs run on the latest, most powerful PC's are now equal to the top human players, and the time when they are unbeatable is only a few years off.
Your prediction is late; it's last year's news. Computers are better. The days when the top GMs can draw a match with the strongest programs running on a notebook computer are behind us.

And on top of that he was once rated 3rd or 4th in the world and is never far from the top 10. Very weak indeed.
Look up patzer in the latest dictionaries. You'll find a picture of Adams, no doubt.

Good article, but as of now, while the machines may have a positive score against world class players in match play, they can still lose games.
I'll stand by my first statement, in a few years they will be unbeatable, period, by anybody, and never lose a game....a draw will be the best that can be had , if the human plays perfectly.

Speed of calculation is no match when a human has three days to check variations. In positional strength, the top class players are way ahead of computers now, and for years to come.
In Classical chess yes. In correspondence? Not yet.
