Have you forgotten the match between Hiarcs 6.0 vs. IM Deen Hergott (Ottawa).
Komputer Korner organized the match, I think the ICCA did an article on it,
anyway, Mr. Hergott clearly lost this match.  I think this confirms that
Computer Software is at least IM strength and this match ocurred was some two (
2 ) years ago.  Also, Fritz beat Polgar recently in a match, she was ranked 16th
in the world at that time.  My feeling is with high-end hardware and the latest
software, the better programs are NOW finally at GM strength.  Read and reflect
upon the latest game analysis of Rebel vs. GM (?)  The analysis is at the Rebel
homepage.  Rebel had at least two ( 2 ) novelties during the game.  I think that
is pretty damn amazing !  That is the mark of a truly great player, in the
fashion of Fischer !  It is to bad Mr. Schroder still refuses to release his
program in a Windows environment it might be worth buying.  Also, did he not
promise that people who purchased Rebel 10 could get a free Rebel 10 Win upgrade
in July 1999.  Unfortunately, this deal never came through !
