Uhhhh....what comes after IM Dr. Hyatt.....GM !

In other words, first it beat IM rather convincingly and now some two ( 2 )
years later with improved hardware and software "may" be at GM level.

Yes I know, but I think based on the "many" results coming in that the top
programs are at the GM level.

The hiarcs match was in a mall, with a crowd milling around.  So noisy

Yes I know, but IM Hergott accepted these terms, so excuses are not acceptable.

The games were 30/30min but Fritz was a clear winner.  The only way to find the
TTRUTH would be to allow computer software to play in the large FIDE tournaments
or Linares, Spain.  Personally, I think it would help to popularize chess and
chess computers, this is a WIN WIN situation for everyone, except the GM's that
lose of course -:)
