One of the Arguments used by those who advocate that Programs are not GM Strength is that Programs lose to 2200 players or less, whereas sopposedly GM's don't. I want to debunk this view by presenting this game played at the national open where six time U.S Champion Walter Browne gets crushed by a 2070!! Player. There are many other such games. Just where people are getting the ideal that grandmasters don't lose to lower rated players escapes me completely.
