Any IM could have such a score. The questions are:

1) How probable would it be?

2) How many more results such as those should be expected to clear the doubt
about that IM being a GM?

3) Is the consistency of computer play the same as that of human play? This
question is important. I believe that human play is more consistent than
computer play, and therefore that an IM can become a GM showing less GM games
that a computer. I mean, we should require more good games from a computer
before declaring it to have consistent GM strength.
