Hello Bob,
I assume you mean that at longer time controls the GM's are not hopelessly
outclassed at all.  That's probably true but I would remind you of the drubbing
the GM's & IM's took at the hands of Deep Fritz & Deep Junior at KC not very
long ago.  That was at Game/1hour!  So this begs the question of how much time
do GM's need now to play _e_v_e_n_ with the machines?
