DB may beat the best micro by 8.5-1.5, or even, 9-1, or, 10-0, but this
does NOT mean that its results against humans will be just as good, and
300 rating points better.  I'd venture to say that its hypothetical
results vs humans should not exceed the best micro's results by more
than 100-150 rating points.  Thus, we talk of two different things -- DB
may exploit a micro (or chess software)'s weaknesses quite consistently,
but this does not apply to humans who are always prone to mistakes,
errors, etc. Thus, another 'guestimate': DB (approximately) 2700, best
micro (computer software) on a Pentium II / AMD K6 400 Mhz 2550-2600.
