Hi Danniel:
In this, like in any other field, a tittle is always the result of many
accumulated results, some explicits and some not. It's clear that just to be
part of a GM tournament an so to be capable of becoming a GM you must be at
least an IM invited to be there. And to get 2500 elo you need to win many times
people with or around that rating. So, in the case of Fritz, he will deserve the
tittle if he can obtain the same kind of steady, regular results any human
player need to be tittled as GM. To win here or there is not enough and at most
is a sign that it could be a GM, If he try to be. In other words, we must not
mix the meaning of being GM, a formal tittle given according certain scores
under certain rules, and being capable of being a GM. I think last version of
Fritz -stronger than the first by a wide margin, I believe- could be capable at
least to be IM.
