I don't think so... mantaining a rating of 2500 is a strong standard that even
some GM can not meeetfor the basis of considering computers GM strength. I am
not talking about earning a title... since that can not be done by computers. If
you can talk Fide into allowing computers to earn titles I will agree with you.
