Results for DB and Commercials:


      ELO   Opp
DB97  2862  2795  +2 =3 -1

Tiger 2788  2497  +8 =3 -0
DJ6   2702  2792  +2 =5 -2
Rebel 2697  2697  +2 =0 -2
DF6   2678  2545  +6 =4 -2

DB96  2642  2775  +1 =2 -3

Based on results, the top commercial programs are equal to DB today.
The 2700 GM that Rebel tied with played 100 preparation games, GM Kasparov vs DB
had none.  The commercial programs can be played by anyone.  DB was only played
by a select few team members and a few games later by DBjr.  The commercial
programs are the best today and results as good as DB and over more games.  DB
is a dead horse.

HSU deserves a lot of credit, but so do the developers of the commercial
programs.
