They consistently said they matched up with results at aegen (sp) human -computer tournament. I realize they are good for comparing relative strength computer vs. computer. But many us look at the top rating-- 2700 + and see a top grandmaster number. Soon it will be a better than Kasparov type number. This is misleading I think.
