JAFM I'm quite sure DB is above 2200. Just don't know how much, and neither how strong it is against other computers. Why ? Because they got lucky once (playing a worldchampion who didn't have a lot of experience playing against a computer), they had a big marketing succes, and now they can't afford to loose. Noticed that there aren't a lot of computerchess tournaments anymore ? If IBM had told they got lucky, there would have been more. I don't think my program can beat DB ( actually, I'm quite sure ) but I do think that DB doesn't have a change against the 10 best programs in the world. Just don't expect to see it play those 10 programs. Tony
