But a question or two for you. What would you consider "Playing on GM level". For one thing, are you aware there are several GM's with FIDE ratings in the 2300 range? Are you aware there are many GM's with ratings in the 2400 range ? If you don't believe this then look it up. A program's playing level is not based on a single position or opening. No one is saying the programs are perfect or that they play on the Super GM level with GK/Anand. Also why pick on Chessmaster? It's rating is certainly close to Fritz/Junior/Hiarcs. As you can take any program apart and point out their weakness the same can be done with any GM. Hey, if it walks like a Duck and plays like a Duck it's probably guess what ! :>) Jim Walker
