Your Rating List 2700 ... World Champion 2550 ... Average GM 2400 ... Average IM 2200 ... National Master 2000 ... Strongest Computers (this was 1985 remember) 2000 ... Candidate Master 1550 ... Average Club Player 1000 ... Average social player Well based on the testing done by me Commercial programs on P-IV 2.0, AMD ATHLON 2200 (Fritz, Junior,Shredder) approximately score about 2650-2700 are as good as Average GM and World Champion in open unbalanced positions. but remember this applies to playing among themselves only. As far as playing a strong GM well computers have yet to learn a lot I consider them abt 2550 playing on the aove Harware playing at normal controls against Super GM. If u increase the speed things definitely vary but not the knowledge (chess) in the programs. Thats why Deep Blue lost the match to Kasparov in 1997. Todays free programs e.g. Crafty, Ruffian are also quiet strong and tactical monsters. On above hardware at Blitz Time Controls they are abt. 2650. but normal Time Control they are 2500 only. This is a rough estimation based on my testing only for more accurate evaluation of Computers vs computers Pl. go to SSDF rating list.
