The Fredkin prize rules are still available on the net. They _specifically_ required that a program produce a 2550 performance rating, over 25 consecutive games, against _only_ GM opponents. No IMs. No FMs. _just_ GM players. This doesn't mean that DT didn't play FM/IM players in tournaments, but those games did _not_ count in the fredkin prize committee analysis. The rules said that the prize would be awarded when 25 consecutive games at 40/2 were played against GM players and the performance rating was 2550 or greater. The DB team we free to pick any 25 consecutive games they wanted, but they could not omit any except for those before the 25 they chose, or those after. Please don't try to rewrite history. The result of the Fredkin prize awards is already well-documented...
