This makes me angry.  When will you people understand that "computers are GM
strength" is a bogus statement repeated over and over again since it does not
include enough information. "Computers are at least GM strength in 1 0" is
certainly true. "Computers are GM strength in tourniament play" might be true,
"Computers are GM strength in analysis" will not be true for the next few years.
