In my opinion, Junior 6. But I wonder to what extent this is subjective and not
necessarily transferable. For example, there are people that find Genius "human
like", while I think it's quite electronic. It would be interesting to see if
people could identify who is the human player in human-computer games. Once I
gave a test of this kind to Danny Kopec and he didn't do so well. Botvinnik
thought that Tal played like a computer, sometimes I wonder about the "human
likeness" of some Kasparov games, etc. I find this issue a bit puzzling.
