Far more interesting than how much better DB is against other computers is "How much better is DB than humans". DB "thinks" in more or less the same way as other programs, yet deeper, so its going to be stronger---so what. But against the top humans, well, I for one was not convinced by the DB-Kasparov match. If DB was in open competition, the Super-GM's would quickly find weaknesses in its play, and probably at a rate that even IBM's large team could not keep up with fixing. My guess would be that after a while DB would struggle to maintain a rating over 2650 because the really strong human players would be really well prepared gainst it. Jonatahn Baxter.
