Same thing with the computer program Dp Junior. It wasn't enough >games to win it a GM title, so it's not GM strength. I'm not sure that I would go that far, or at least I would say "It's not *proven* to be of GM strength." You can say "It's not a GM" because it has not satisfied the FIDE requirements." (not even informally, since FIDE may not really recognize what is achieved). But I think the evidence leans towards DJ on that machine being of GM strength. Given enough games, we'll know for sure. I think GM's will learn to play against computers a lot better. They will study the attacks that work against them. But at _some_ point, computers _will_ cross the GM line and won't be turned back. If that point is already here is open to debate.
