If it would be non-realistic to 100%, it wouldn't be funny at all. But actually any top program on 200 MHz is - in let's say 97% of complex *combinative* positions - even above GM-strength in terms of tactics IMO. I don't think a strong tournament player will want to analyse strategical or positional issues, but the tactics. Btw. I do not follow the large threads here about programs being GM-strength (in general) or not. I assume no computer chess programmer, -expert or -fan will doubt that programs - also if they run at 200 MHz "only" are GM *tacticians* (combinative players), with *very* few exceptions, i.e. extreme anticomputer positions. Disputing that means the end of reasonable talking about computer chess IMO. I do not expect that. Regards, M.Scheidl
