Nope, You should read my post on the 1995 match between DEEP THOUGHT and Fritz 3 . This is only a decent example of Computer software at that time being within 400 elo points of DT searching somewhere between 4 and 5 Million nodes for the 14 processor Flavor and 6-7 million nodes for the 24 processor version. I am not sure how many VLSI Processors but i am sure what was playing and Deep Blue wasn't it. I can say one thing Fritz 7 would've played 13.g3 , and if it didn't it would've played 16.c4. DBP did see what was wrong with castling but communication line dropped .... but i have never heard anything about move 16 g3 was the only chance to draw that game and Fritz 7 found the move soon and kept it ovenight. But so would many of today's programs , does that mean they are better no not unless you have a 9Ghz computer floating around . Ofcourse fritz Crafty Tiger etc would win games but not a match not unless they had equal hardware equal nodes ....
