The GM's were better than average GM's

I know that Junior drew with 3 grandmasters before the match against yudasin

I know that Zungzwang did a good result in a tournament (performance more than
2500 and I think it played against GM's in the tournament)

I think that we should look at all the games that were played by computers
against GM's last year in tournament time control.

I am not sure if computers are of GM strength but they are very close
and maybe part of them are GM's

I am not impressed by the ability of computers
They do too many mistakes that I will not do so the  reason that computers are
close to be GM's is not that computers are strong but  GM's are weak.
