Computers are becoming too strong, and too cruel, for their human counterpart. Even a player with Utut Adianto caliber couldn’t manage to register a point. The best Indonesian player was Taufik Halay with 1.0. Susanto Megaranto followed with half points. The computers whitewashed Tirta Chandra Purnama and Utut Adianto.
