One possible exception is Peter McKenzie, author of LambChop, who posts here occasionally. Peter is a former New Zealand champion, and although i don't think he has a FIDE title, he could not be far below IM strength. Lambchop is a reasonably strong program, especially for its positional play, but i think Peter would have some chance against it if he played seriously. My own program, Desperado, is much stronger than i am, and it is definatly not one of the strongest programs out there. (My Australian rating is 1504. Desperado hasn't competed much against rated players recently but might be about 2000. An earlier version once managed to fluke a win against an IM.)
