"This is what seperates poker from chess.. a chess computer can beat a weak player just as effeciently as a grandmaster can."

Because there is no bonus for beating somebody badly. But say there were extra points for checkmating in less than say 45 moves. If tournaments were comprised of good and bad players alike, a computer would lose to humans it could beat head up.

The only problem is this is just not true. I'll have to repeat this I guess.. COMPUTERS CRUSH WEAK PLAYERS... with greater ease than human do.....
