Getting a computer into a category 19 or higher probably can't be done. >If you have a million or so US$ for sponsorship, you could probably get a >computer into a tournament of that strength, but you probably couldn't persuade >FIDE to rate it, or give it a category. Fide is not important. The average of the rating of the players is the important thing to decide about the category of the tournament. I think that Deep Junior played in at least category 19 tournament but I am not sure about the definition of category 19. If you use the fide definition then a match against the world champoion was never done because kasparov was not the fide champion at the time that he played against deep blue or Deeper blue. > >The strongest tournament a computer has played in was the last Netherlands >championship.

The strongest tournament that a computer played was the tournament when Deep Junior did 50%(kramnik,Anand,Leko were part of the players in this tournament). Uri
