On above hardware at Blitz Time Controls they are abt. 2650. What evidence you have. At blitz time control Fritz3 did better in 1994 on a slow pentium(I am not sure if P90 or even slower hardware) and won a tournament together with kasparov) and Crafty or Ruffian on fast hardware are clearly better than Fritz3. Genius3 did even more than 2650 performance on p90 or p120 in 25 minutes/game in 1994 and the free programs on fast hardware are clearly stronger than it. but >normal Time Control they are 2500 only. Again you need evidence. It seems that you tend to underestimate computers The second possibility is that humans improved significantly since 1994 but again you need evidence for it. Uri
