 I believe the Most vocal Critics has Been Silent, It is routine now for
Programs to Get GM Norms even on relatively Slow machines. One would have to be
a fool to say computers are Not GM Strength, since the evidence is Overwelming.
I think it could be said with confidence that the top programs running on 500mhz
and up are GM strength without doubt. I can't recall one "bad" result of the
Computers in the last three years playing Humans. For those who claim that
humans have only to get more experience against the programs and then the
program results will get worst, i have this too say, "when will this happen" so
far the computer results have Been consistent. Computers have won "far" more
games then they have lost over a four year period. (more then enough time for
humans to learn anti-computer methods}.
