Yes.

If that were to happen, you would very likely
get caught switching back and forth between
your dummy chess screen and Fritz; don't
try it!

I wouldn't get too excited until your program
at least reaches the 2000 level.

Enough to recover your cost for the Fritz
program, and then some!

It could only happen if there was a malfunction;
a *serious* one.

You could play Rob Mitchell a match for
$10,000... .

I don't know if there are any cash prizes,
but the winner's chess program can then
be sold by the tens of thousands for say,
$100 apiece. That's a lot of money, if you
quickly convert into some other currency
before the U.S. dollar becomes worthless.
In my opinion, the GetClub program still
needs a lot of work in certain areas, but it
has become tactically dangerous in some
positions. The single biggest weakness
seems to be its King-safety problem, by
which it keeps its own King hidden in a
corner and is effectively down a piece in
the endgame. That, my friend, is quite a
handicap for a wannabe Rybka challenger!
For more information, just do a Google
search on "computer chess world
championship". I think the latest one was
won by another program, but the ratings
lists show Rybka as the strongest -- even
in its outdated forms -- after extensive
testing.
