Go up one level in this thread


I tend to agree that computers are achieving GM strength in that if it walks
like a duck and quacks like a duck, well then it must be a duck! The van der
Wiel-Rebel match is one example of this. And what of Kasparov Deep Blue II? A
crushing defeat of perhaps the strongest human player on the planet.

Have no computer programs played in enough human-machine tournaments at slower
time controls (not Blitz!) to achieve an official and not provisional rating at
GM level? Or have they not been allowed to? If under tournament conditions a
computer program performs at GM level I think it should be given its due. Quack!
