I won't argue that you are a better chess player than I will ever be, or even that you understand strength better than I do. But suppose that DJ falls to stonewall by any chess expert. Is it still a GM? I have a degree in mathematics. Therefore, I suspect (unless you are also a mathematician) that I know some things in that area that you don't. I have not argued that DJ is not a GM. I have only argued that DJ is not mathematically proven to be of GM strength. In fact, I am correct about that. One million emotional arguements or artistic arguments or chess expert opinions do not alter that. Is DJ a GM? I think it *might* be of GM strength -- even that the evidence is leaning that way. But I not only think it has not been proven, I really do believe that once people figure out how to play anti-computer strategy it may not pan out to be the GM player you imagine. Have you considered the Anticomputer chess site of Raphael Vasquez? I think most GM's have no idea how to play against computers. Further, that there are many IM's that can do much better against computers than the average GM because they know how to play them. This is a sin of the GM, since if it is your life, you ought to understand your opponent.
