Computer resistant chess variants[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Loosely speaking, there are lots of ways to design competitions where Computers can be allowed to compete (in principle) yet be probably no factor. Changing the Rules along the way could make the programming too time-consuming, and not even announcing the Rules in advance could preclude adequate preparation. Ralph Betza has this one, Many_Rules, that the comments ten years ago did not address for computer resistance, but programmers may not want to tackle this type of CV that biological players enjoy.
