Hello Jim,

Of course they can, as partially demonstrated by Tiger. I think it's very
relevant to determine if a computer program can demonstrate GM strength without
depending on various databases and state of the art hardware. Similar issues
will be forced at some point anyway if computer programs are to participate in
human tournaments in the future (IMO). Not that it would be a great loss.

Mogens
