The way TI is structured they invite one team from South America. So Pain is likely not in top 20, but still a very good team.

One thing to keep in mind is that humans have to process the game from the image on the screen and input through a mouse and keyboard. We have to move the mouse to react to things.…

Humans are nowhere near the limit of what is possible in chess, as evidenced by how much better computers are at the game.

I don't usually like to ask for citations, but he said the data was easily found which is clearly false in this case. And there are good reasons to believe google, a company which …
