I do not believe it.
I believe the number of the GHZ with the same software is not going to help
always to win.

If you get a draw position out of book no number of GH is going to help you to
win.

I also do not know if chess is complicated enough to let program to get 100%
against GM's.

Maybe you need to look for another game if you want programs to score 100%

I do not like crticizing the hardware.
I believe that it is also correct that the hardware is fast enough to win all
humans in a match and the software is the problem.
