Note that I did not say that kasparov played like an IM and I believe that
Deeper blue as something that is not available to the public had super GM
strength.

I believe the top programs of today are also at 2700 level if the opponents
cannot buy them and I guess that if Dark thought
is going to play in tournaments without being available to the public it is
going to get rating of 2700.

A program that I consider as probably weaker like P.conner already got a GM
norm.
