You cannot decide by one game that programs of today are not better than Deep
thought.

Deep thought did a lot of tactical and positional mistakes in other games that
the commercial of today have no problem to avoid.

If you look at the games of Deep thought-kasparov you will have no problem to
see that programs of today are better.

If you look at comp-comp games of Deep thought you are going to find also
mistakes of Deep thought that programs of today have no problem to avoid(even in
part of the games that deep thought won but got inferior position).

You can use one of the top programs(not tiger) to analyze comp-comp games of
Deep thought and also to analyze ssdf games of tiger14 against programs that are
at least 200 elo weaker
(Deep thought played against programs that were supposed to be at least 200 elo
weaker in comp-comp games).
The target should be to find tactical blunders.

I expect people to find that Deep thought did more tactical blunders.
