I have NEVER said anything that should give the impression that I do not have a high opinion of chess programs in general, nor have I said anything about CM being superior or inferior to other commercial engines. I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. I have no idea what ELO engines play at. I leave other people to try to come up with a pseudo-random number. I never said that today's chess programs do not play at GM level. All I said (or implied) was that it is my personal opinion (based on very little personal experience) that the BEST GMs, when they play at their best, are more likely to win a match against than the commercials. I have no opinion about the conspiracy theory. I have a strong theory about a PSYCHOLOGICAL issue when GMs play comps in general, but I have never said anything (nor will I say anything) about the possibility that the Kramnik vs DF match (for example) was rigged. Go ahead and find the quote where I said that The King is "a patzer". jm
