No. I don't think so. It was only 2 games, and not even tournament length games at that. When I saw how easily Petr defeated Deep Shredder, I was amazed. He was kibitz'ing most of the game. Like he didn't even have to concentrate. Remember, he said that Deep Shredder performance was approx. 2100-2200 FIDE in the game against him? (Which it played 100x worse against him, I agree.) Guess what Petr said about these games? Thoughts on ending of game 1: Petrovich(GM) kibitzes: it's very difficult for human to play positions with compensations for a pawn Petrovich(GM) kibitzes: may be just white has no sufficient compensation :) Project played like Machine :)) Game 2: Petrovich(GM) kibitzes: 4...Bxc3? Petrovich(GM) kibitzes: I beat Jrlok never play Bxc3 vs human GM :) Petrovich(GM) kibitzes: please think about it :) Petrovich(GM) kibitzes: comp played opening like patzer again And about the series: Petrovich(GM) tells you: hmm, comp played like 2200 in the closed position and like 2600 in open :) It's hard to evaluate his strength Petrovich(GM) tells you: so, 2200+2600 / 2 = 2400 :) lol Petr and I just went over quickly the games. These are not annotated or anything, just general conversation on the games. Also, please be aware that when I played Petr, I did _NOT_ prepare at all. I asked him for a game, and we played. Having been singled out by JRLOK, I prepared an better book. This time when I played JRLOK, there was no in & out of book problems. Shredder played a much better game this time around, than last. However, I am not ready to say that Shredder is GM strength. Like Robert said, to be 2600 you have to play like a 2600 every game. Not 2100 here and 2700 here. 2600 ALL THE TIME. I am planning more and more GM vs Shredder games. Perhaps at the end of this year, we can make a FAIR guess at Deep Shredder's ELO. Slate
