I think this confirms that >Computer Software is at least IM strength and this match ocurred was some two ( >2 ) years ago. Please join the right conversation.

The hiarcs match was in a mall, with a crowd milling around. So noisy that the IM had to wear headphones to drown out the noise/interruptions. > Also, Fritz beat Polgar recently in a match, she was ranked 16th >in the world at that time. Same point as above. We are talking about GM level play at 40/2hr time controls. The polgar match wasn't 40/2hr >My feeling is with high-end hardware and the latest >software, the better programs are NOW finally at GM strength.
