Kaufman speaks the truth finally some sanity appears in the group!! (I of course would leave out Hiarcs 6, and Genius 5) "The last time I checked, the indicated adjustment to convert to USCF ratings was 180, which would give it a predicted USCF rating of 2696. Even a tiny gain would bring the new version over 2700, the same level as the top four or five American grandmasters. This is at standard tournament speed (40/2); at fast chess the programs are stronger still. Although I suspect that the method used to get the Swedish ratings tends to exaggerate the ratings of the top programs a bit for several reasons, I do believe that MChess Pro 8.0 would be able to earn the Grandmaster title if given a reasonable number of opportunities to play in GM norm tournaments. In fact, an earlier version (5.0) defeated three Grandmasters in a single six round event (Aegon) at standard time controls. At fast chess, it is a terror;" (Kaufman Nov, 1998)
