Uri,

A rating of 2600 would put that player in the top 100 in the world. If it were
that easy there would be MANY more 2600 players than there actually are.

Having personally played many people that I believe are little more than mail
carriers for their computers, I think 2300-2450 is about where most computers
would end up. For today anyway. Of course a computer may beat an unassisted
human rated much higher than that, as in the Steve Ham games, but unassisted
human player ratings are for the most part declining, and do not accurately
reflect their actual strength in a world with strong computers.
