From the front page of www.chessbase.com: > DORTMUND 2000 - DAY 9: SUPER-GM PERFORMANCE BY JUNIOR > On the final day in Dortmund Anand outplayed Hübner to catch up with > Kramnik and share first place with him. In the meantime Junior defeated > Leko to end up with an overall score of 50% and a super-GM performance > of 2703. This is the greatest achievement of any computer program in > history. With all due respect to Amir and Shay, this claim is simply over the top. For instance, I would consider the software that piloted Voyager 2 to close views of several planets over the last decade to be a much greater achievement. Presumably what was meant was that Junior's result was the greatest achievement of any computer chess program in history, which would be (merely ;-) controversial. Dave
