If xu yinchuan is equal to neuchess then a long match would be
exciting. Somebody should organize such a match. This match has a
limited window. In 5 years xu yinchuan would not have a chance against
a computer.

I read at the icga web site there is an annual human vs computer match
in Taipei. 4 computers play 4 strong human players. Each year there
are stronger humans challenging the computers. There is a web site for
match but I can not read the Chinese. I think the humans are up to 8
dan. Last year Neuchess won its games. I wonder what happened in this
year's match.
