First you say that the results should determine whether a piece of computer chess software has GM strength. Then you conlude that they are of GM strength, without sufficient results to support that conclusion. You make the same mistake as the others have, confusing opinion with fact. The result _suggest_ GM strength, but that is all. Best wishes... Mogens
