I don't think so. On the contrary I think that if you put tere 10.000$ for the
winner and nothing for the looser, say 8 games match: 90% of >2500 GM would
crash any PC prorgam.

There is a very simple proof to this statement: IBM keeps Deep-Blue well hidden
behind the curtain. They know they were exrtemely lucky, they cannot fool us a
second time.
