Chess programs have a much wider bandwidth between blunder and brilliancy... (But they will blunder much less often in tactical situations than any GM!) So you may find positions where most progs are idiots. But still, they are capable to win GM tournaments. Do some Google search and you'll find plenty of examples. In other words, you should distuingish between exceptions or more typical situations, when judging about prog's strenghts. Regards, M.Scheidl
