 From what I've read on this topic so far Pichard it seems to me that your
claims do lack credibility.I know in short time games chess computers can
beat gms but once the gms get time to see the position more clearly they
generally out play  c.c. programs.My belief is that this will continue for
some time because it's getting more  and more difficult to make significant
improvements in c.c programs. Mind you Pichard I thought they'd have trouble
getting them to play at the level they do now.A fantastic achievement I think
Cheers Allan
