most here have witnessed the different levels of program and hardware strength increases over the years. the programs used to be looked at as a toy, or a novelty. then the programs could beat a master. then the programs could beat a GM but with lots of losses. it seems now we are witnessing another phase of this growth. there are more GM losing to programs, but the difference is that the GM cannot win like he used to. now it seems we are going through a period of 4 out of 5, GM vs program games, being drawn. i feel that when someone can play 30 games against a variety of GM's, and draw almost every game, and occasionally win one, it would be very difficult for me to not call him a GM. also we know what the next logical level is here, once we get through this draw era. i think all here will witness the evolution of this next level, less draws and more wins. i think in this next level, it will become acceptable to all, to address programs as GM level. kburcham
