this modern chessprograms.

I believe this too.They are calculating very good variations.

Time will tell us.Not much games between GM´s and programs at the moment.

Some IM´s do this too in weak tournaments and loosing a lot of games against

strong GM´s.

Tiger do this like some strong IM´s and weak GM´s in other lowlevel tournaments
too.

DeepJunior 6 had played in Dortmund horrible games against Piket and Kramnik.The
other GM´s didn´t play in there first accounter there normal chess against the
"Golem".

I don´t see any chance that the programs can play Elo 2800-2900.It is more
realistic that under the timecontrol 60min/game +10sec GM Gulko is playing with
the strength of Elo 2450-2500.So the matchresult could probalbly be a draw.
