some play a blitz game against an international master and call their
program masterstrength

some play a few blitz games against anand and call their program
grandmaster strength.

Another very well known one just wins 2 games from kasparov, where kasparov
is correctly accused for just playing like 2200, as this 223 has read a book
written by kasparov and knows that h6 in that carokann is losing.

They call it top GM level then though.


Basically read my post about anti computer chess, a 3000 can lose
to a computer in a tactical position where just developing pieces and
pressure wins for the computer. A 2200 can win from the computer if he
closes the position or even better, gets bigtime won out of an opening he
knows.

Comparing humans with computers is comparing cats with dogs.

Virtual Chess is the commercial world champion (meaning entry fee was
1000 dollar or something) from Paris 1997.
