We disagree here.  I do believe that Fritz on a single chip (AMD 450 or
faster) could achieve a GM norm.

I would not be surprised if other top programs on the list achieved
a 2600 or higher TPR (or a much lower one) based on the ratings.

Ok, I can accept that you do not like the association, you mentioned
educated guess, how would I do that if not from a testing and stats
point of view?
