Hyatt stop trying to start something you know i was searching for something very
very simple, that being what Kasparov MIGHT think is the strongest program(in
other words peoples oppinions on what kasps opinion might be.  Now  every person
in here has at one time or another made the statement "i think program x is the
strongest available".  When people make that statement you have a general idea
what they mean.  These replies of blass are just taking up space.   That's my
oppinion of course, that he is making a totally useless reply to my question.
The fact that it is the oppinion that i hold is not up to debate, and i don't
want to engage in any debate with you attempting to change that oppinion.  I
would be most pleased if the whole thread would be deleted, if all i can get is
semantic fanatacism.  Further since i was aksing for oppinion and didn't ask for
any specific time control he could have simply said "well i think kasp thinks
program x is strongest against comps at 40/2 according to what i read at x.  He
could have picked any criteria were kasp thinks program x is srongest at
whatever, based upon some evidence he might have.  No, instead he just keeps
posting something that is of no relevance to the question, i have no time for
such things.

 and it probably doesn't exist in the form you desire.  Programs are all
