My personal crude estimate is that the top chess programs can only manage an Elo
rating of about 2450 on the ICCF scale, if allowed about 4 hours to calculate
each move on a 2GHz processor. To put it another way, players rated above 2450
ICCF are probably using some human brain power. Please don't confuse the name of
the processor with the ratings; the similarity is purely coincidental... :)
