He said "GM strength program".

That was what I was responding to.  Crafty played in a four computer vs four
human GM event in 1997 or so and it finished above _all_ the four human GM
players.  However, it was a 30 minute time control and I'd hardly claim that
1997 Crafty was a GM at normal time controls, although it was hell on wheels
against GMs at blitz speeds.
