I think that, if you want to get such comparisons, you'd best try asking people
who have actually played any number of games worth mentioning against Deep Blue
II. To my knowledge, there are such people - IM Benjamin would be an example, as
well as possibly GM Illescas - and I'd guess it is safe to say that they also
have some experience concerning the strength of play of top commercial chess
programs today.
If you'd be able to get a statement from them, I'd be very interested to read
about it. If no information on DB is available from these or comparable sources,
I'd guess we can do nothing more than look at DB's hardware advantage and
conclude that it probably was a lot stronger than is any chess playing machine
today.
