Fritz3(p90) had also IM norm against humans but if you look at it's ssdf rating you can see more than 400 elo difference relative to the top programs. If you remember that A1200 that is used by the ssdf is not the best hardware you can say that Fritz3(p90) is almost 600 elo weaker than the top programs of today in comp-comp games. Fritz3(p90) played in 1995. Most Programs that played against deep thought played when p90 was not available. Uri
