It is known that 2650 in the ssdf probably mean less than 2300 against
hasidovski(this 2177 drew 3 computers in the israeli league) so I believe that
computers are weaker than 2300 against well prepared humans but almost no human
is a well prepared human because humans are interested in playing against humans
and not in preparing against computers so practically the rating of programs
against humans is about 2550-2600(the performance of programs in the israeli
league was not so good but the main reason for it is that part of the players
like hasidovski were prepared(I believe that if the teams had no right to choose
the humans to play against the computer less players were prepared against
computers).
