Hmm, wonder how DT would do against todays "inflated" GM's whe have better
anti-computer experience and knowledg?  Also wonder how DT would do against
players who use 1Ghz or faster comps/programs to help if they played DT today?

I am sure that DT would not be 130 points higher than anyone or thing on ICC
today.  DT was ancient history and so was DB, good in their day, but that day is
past.  You can see DBII at the Smithsonian here in DC.  It is gone and in a
museum with all the other old relics.  ;)
