So far ChessTiger has only beat 2 IM's and drew one, so I do not consider
its performance so far to be particularly notable.

I think it's performance vs the GM's will be very interesting. If it
can do well there it will most likely get the norm.

I already explained why I think this 'norm' is a bit shaky in this
conditions (fast time control, and even if the difference like Uri
estimates is only 50 ELO that is still quite significant)

I do still think that if ChessTiger makes the norm (which I believe it
has a good chance of) this means something, and if it makes a second norm in
another tournament that will be a very solid basis to call it a GM.
(by todays standards)
