Apparently reading has nothing to do with understanding either!  It is an
oppinion currently as to whether their is enough evidence to say scientifically
if a comp is GM strength.  Further again this term of "GM strength"  Does it
merely mean a statistical result or is it really more substantive to refer to
qaulity of play!  If your average bootom of the barrel 2500 GM played in 3 round
robin 10 game events with Kasparov anand And Kramnik The bottom of the barrel
2500 GM would probably most likely not get his GM Norm much less get the 3
required. That would not necessarily mean that he didn't demonstrate "GM
strength" play.  Geesh the current world champion is barely going to get a GM
norm in Dortmund and Kasparov isn't even there!

There's not enough statistical evidence
