My notes indicate that: HITECH beat Denker in September 1988, 3.5-0.5 [See 'Inside Chess', 1988]. I don't think Denker was that 'active' at the time: ELO rating(s) and ranking unknown. In November, 1988, 'active' GM Bent Larsen lost to DEEP THOUGHT at Long Beach, CA. DEEP THOUGHT was 1= in this 8-round Swiss Tournament with a PR of 2745. [ Levy, 'How Computers Play Chess', p125] is one reference. Incidentally, I don't have all the games of this tournament, which contributed to DEEP THOUGHT winning the 2nd Friedkin Prize when it rated 2500+ (USCF presumably?). Any sources would be most welcome - even a list of those in the group it was playing in. Again, Bent Larsen's ELO rating and ranking is unknown but it was quite high, I think. Difficult to rate 'DEEP THOUGHT' in MHz terms :-) Guy
