IMO:
Nope, 6 games is not enough to accurately guess its strength. Its obviously
very strong to beat Kasparov in a match no matter what kind of day Kasparov was
having. Maybe even as strong as Gulko was in 1997.(when he also had a favorable
win loss record to Kasparov) But Gulko established his ELO(whatever it was) in
1997 by playing many more than 6 rated games against many different players and
styles. IBM obviously chose not to.
Sorry regardless of the excuses IBM gives for never playing anymore there
will always be the suspicion that the match was a fluke. Or at least maybe
Deeper blues style matched well against kasparovs. The fact that many
Grandmasters review the games and are not all that impressed deepens the
suspicions. The fact is we can't narrow how good Deeper Blue is/was more than
to say "maybe as good, maybe better, maybe worse than Gulko" because it never(at
least publicly) played the game enough.
