Would make a good spread bet if we could agree where computers are now. According to SSDF, 2650. With readily available multiprocessor PCs, undoubtedly higher. Then the likes of Albert Silver will come along and claim that, by using anti-computer strategy (which, granted, is a perfectly fair tactic), players of around 2300 can beat any PC. It's a tragedy that the Aegon tournaments have not run since '97 - what better test of the latest computers against the latest anti-computer tactics could one imagine! -g
