Yes, they can score in the 2500-2600 range. And it _is_ amazing, having >in mind all the gaps in their "knowledge" of the game. > >*** Djordje I am not sure about this, because programs are not being tested in a real situation. In a real situation a program would be as any chess player. In this hypothetical situation, a program would be entitled to receive prizes, it would be accepted by the other chess players as a normal player, etc. If a program could be tested in these conditions I think that chess players would have interest to learn to play against them, and a program with an initial 2550 ELO rating, after one year playing at FIDE tournaments, could lose many points ELO(more than 50).
