Please refer to earlier debates on this subject. >Kurt Grandmaster Strength = Grandmaster results.... Century1 after 32 games has a elo rating of 2530 against all grandmaster and international master players. Now ask yourself can you do the same? IF THOSE TYPE OF RESULTS DOES NOT EQUAL GM STRENGTH THEN TELL ME WHAT DO THEY MEAN? Another very important point is that since you have never played grandmasters regulary you don't know how you might score against them if given the chance, i have seen many games where expert level players have beaten grandmasters, and players in the 2300 beat them more then you might expect. Because you can draw a computer this means really little, because a computer will allow you a draw simply because it is not a counscious entity, and therefore is not aware that you are a weaker player, so it will make the best move, whereas a strong human player will play a slightly inferior move knowing you are not strong enough to give the best reply. Another factor is that you can always draw using the three move repition rule, because the computer will evaluatate the position as slightly negative for itself, then it will repeat the position, again not counscious being aware that you are not a Grandmaster. COMMON SENSE, should tell you that a computer cannot achieve a 2700 elo performance rating, beating on the way PETER LEKO
