Code coverage is never the goal when doing TDD. It is a positive side effect. The goal is well designed code with some measure of unit tests.

I failed to make my point...sorry. A human rated 3200 would win more than 4 games even given the restrictions against a GM rated ~2550. Ratings are not as as transferrable as one would think, especially when a computer is involved.

After further reflection I'm not sure my belief is wrong.

The match between GM Roman Dzindzichashvili and Rybka has finished with a somewhat surprising (at least to me) score of 4-4.

Time away breeds ignorance...thanks for the reference

I do not think this is the case. If you follow chess and the matches where a top GM plays a computer you will find most of the time it is a draw. There was an article on chessbase many years ago that showed that chess program rating had stopped growing as fast and they were leveling out just as player ratings level out. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1292
