Well, your last sentence sums it up.  "for if the computer was conscious it
would avoid such lines"  I think that's what determines ELO.  The ability to
avoid certain lines.  :)

Dreev played 3 games against Deep Fritz, and beat it 2.5-0.5.  He is without a
doubt the better player of the two GM's, however, it's not just not possible
that a home computer can come close to Super-GM strength.  I would guess, do to
it's lack of conscious.

Also, you are absolutly correct.  He played Deep Shredder 1 game.  And when I
asked him the question directly, I asked, "What would you rate the performance
ELO of the computer in this game."  He replied, "2100-2200 FIDE"  That's what
this post is about.  Just 1 game.  Not a series of them.

And yes, Peter does consistatly play D35 and D36 against chess computers.  As do
a lot of people.  It's a newer approcach to beating computers.  This was said in
an earlier post.  However, what does Kramnik consistatly play against Kasparov
as black?  YES!  The Berlin! (Anyone check if Kaspy is still conscious?)  And it
works, and you stick with what works.  I won't hold a grudge cause a GM can kick
my 'puter's ass.  Even if he plays the same line over and over.  If my program
is dumb enough to lose everytime, well then that just tells me how much further
it REALLY is from Super-GM stregth.

In a nutshell:  Computers are not Super-GM strength.  Especially not on home
computers.  And in the war against Man vs Machine, man is still winning.  Sure,
computers win a battle here and there, however man is still winning the war, for
now.
