I disagree, Kasparov has taken on teams of several GM's at once before, and won handily. I believe it was the German National team two or three years ago (Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong). If Today's programs are GMs at 40/2 (which I believe to be the case, but which has not been conclusively proven yet), then they are fairly average GMs, i.e. 2500-2550 FIDE. I would bet that Kasparov could defeat 32 FIDE 2500 GM's in a simul. Probably not with a lopsided score, but still probably something in the neighborhood of 18-14. I'm about USCF 2200, and believe that I could defeat a team of 1850s/1900s with a similar score, and that is a similar rating differential. Additionally, I think it would be even easier for Kaspy against the comps, as even the best micros still have identifiable and exploitable weaknesses, and Kaspy has a great deal of experience against comps. Against today's comps, I'd venture a score of perhaps 20-12 in favor of Kaspy.
