Comment Is this really a fair match? (Score 1) 338
If this were really a fair test of intelligence, all factors other than intelligence (that could be) would be factored out. This probably has already been broached, but why not limit the power available to the computer, by way of an agreed upon battery size, and thus simulate the tiring of a human. If the computer's program "chooses" to do deep searches early it will pay the price by becoming tired earlier and have less left over for the end game.
Chess (and almost any other games humans play) have multiple factors that detrmine the outcome. We humans also try to level the playing field by setting weight limits in boxing, ensuring both teams use certified equipment and drug testing to prevent an unfair advantage.
Put a throttle on those cpu cycles and I'd put my money on any Grandmaster!!
