Bob,

I've tended to agree with you over the years that Deeper Blue was stronger than
today's fastest PCs running today's strongest chess programs.  However, I've got
to think that Fritz 7a running on a fast Athlon would come out much higher than
2500 using any reasonable method of testing its rating (games against humans,
games against computers, test suites, whatever).
