Thanks for your reply, Mr. Gnaramori. No, I considered the event in Argentina, but that doesn't convince me, we need much more data, before we can establish whether or not computers/chessprograms, really _are_ 2600 or better. I do agree that the _gap_ is certainly closing! The five year mark is a _cautious_ estimate. Actually in might be possible for programs to reach 2800 in the next 5 years, but that IMO is an optimistic guess!;) Here is todays' game between Kramnik and Morosevich which ended 1-0 in the last half hour. I think computers are not close to the type of play Kramnik displayed today, in the endgame! This is intuition, something beyond the computer/chessprograms of today.
