I believe the dice allow more domination, since they are easily calculated, of course anyone can get lucky once in a while, even rubbish players can throw lots of double sixes.
But who would want to become conk using a program? What would be the point?
For IBM it was a statement and advertisement, I don't believe being conk on CC holds the same weight as beating the best chess player of all time.
Personally, knowing that there are better programs and better chess players / backgammon / CC + poker players doesn't stop me enjoying having a game.
When i lived in England, back in 1994, i had no idea about computers, but i believed i can play chess, and i lost against the computer at the hardest level, i started to write down my moves, when i realized one mistake the computer made, in the second game i beat him,
then i played the same opening, the same moves until the crucial mistake moment of the computer, i realised that the comp is doing all the same, finaly i beat the comp, i didnt even bother to play different openings or moves, my goal was just to beat the computer, i succeeded , today i dont play chess anymore, i dont have any opponents, not many people play chess in real life, not in my close friendship or community, anyway, i believe, that a human can beat a comp if he starts to know his weak point, the old greek achiles nerve, i believe in human intelligence, artificial intelligence is programmed by human intelligence, to much philosophy now, we have been there before, everything happened, its just repeating itself, humans win
I used to roll the daizz Feel the fear in my enemy´s eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: Long live the Army Of Kings !

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but do you know the difference between a pawn and the rear end of a Knight? Just trying to interject a little humor. Grandmasters no longer play matches against computers because it is futile.
AsianKing if you want to see how strong even a computer program several years old is simply download a copy of Slow Chess Blitz and it will beat you 100% of the time. It is "weak" compared to Rybka and others.
