If a program, any program (like X3D Fritz) plays some positions like a 2700+ player and other positions like a 1600 or 1700 player what would you say it's true rating should be? I am asking because of the 3rd game of the Kasparov vs. X3D Fritz match. In human games I don't think that their is such a huge gap in how a human would play a open position verus how they would play a closed position in terms of chess strength for example. However in computer chess this seems to be very normal. So I don't see how we can say that a program is 2700+ when it plays some positions and as such weak player in other positions. Granted in tactics they are a GrandMaster, however in strategy they are maybe a grade A (1900) player. These are my thoughts, interested in hearing yours. Thanks Ted Summers
