Yes but it doesn't help much in getting a definition for GM so that you can decide 'computers are GM strength'. Say you set GM strength to 2500 Elo. That would be a good mark nowadays. If you let the computer play vs mixed opposition you would be able to calculate an Elo rating for it. And see < or > 2500 But that 'mark' will shift over the years. Aditionally you have changed the pool which you compare to (the humans elo ratings are based on a pool without computers). The elo of computerkillers would raise and those of 'open' players would drop. You have done comparisations from one pool of players to another. The comparisation is meaningless. -- GCP
