In spite of the fact that they were running on a pent 133, according to >ssdf they would be in the 2450-2490 range. The ssdf list is based only on game between computers programs and not on games between programs and humans. The result is not surprising becuase Junior5 on better hardware has only 2500 performance.

Is it possible that a strong international master >would score a similiar result against a 2306 master? It is not impossible 7.5:3.5 is the expected result for 2450 player and the difference is only 1 game. I think it is more difficult to prepare against humans than against computers and I believe that a strong international master that learned the programs weakneses can beat them. Uri
