By 'solid', do you mean a long amount of time to prepare against the computer (say 3 months or more) or do you mean rating, or do you mean anti-computer tactics? If you look at the results from the games and the strong IM and strong GM players, you will find some very strong ratings (2700+) and a some failed anti-computer tactics (some successful, but fewer as time marches on). Preparation time against a specific program/hardware (say 3 months is what the world champ says he needs) seems to be the standard handicap people need. Just my 2 cents. :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
