This is the point I have tried to explain to you several times. What "GM"
would lose such a game to a 2200 player? Can you think of one? I see _all_
programs lose to such players on ICC. Some repeatedly to humans that are
not even 'titled' by FIDE. And so long as this continues, I have a _hard_
time thinking of the programs as "GM" players...
IMHO of course...
