Ultimate Chess: Humans GM teaming up with chess engines!


After watching the  Zurich 2014 successfully chess tournament new format, in which there was a mix between rapid chess and classical chess to define the champion of that tournament, I would like to suggest some ideas to make the chess championship more spectacular.



The interaction between the human biological machines and the silicon machines will become more popular in the near future, therefore, Chess could be the common ground for those systems to commence understand each other. My suggestion is to create teams with human GM chess players, chess engines, programmers ,cognitive scientifics and anthropologist, under the umbrella of a sponsor in order to organize an spectacular chess tournament.

In the same way that in the Formula One championship, where the human pilots are teaming up with powerful machines to compete, under a smart sponsorship, the  chess championship should follow a similar path. 


Working in this type of teams, will help chess  gran masters to understand better the algorithm that fuel the chess engines and will be able to modify it and evolve together in a competition framework.

At today's  ELO's ranges, in average 2800 for humans gran masters and 3200 for chess engines, the statistically trend for a draw is 40% white ones winning 35% and black ones winning 25%.
Therefore, the new proposed scheme, will allow to play chess games faster and more matches per tournament , focusing in the very small important advantages to win the match, instead in a possible human blunder. 
 
Finally, the interaction between humans and machines playing together to get a common goal, will help the overall progress of civilization.
