How about ten best GMs against ten best commercial programs? :) 2-4 rounds
(20-40games). Y think score will be 70%-30%  It will be the same as former
Soviet Union in 60s against other world !!

Raul: I'm not saying that presently, these configurations are capable of
performances in the high 2700 elo range. No, not yet, but I do think that my
machine as described in earlier posts, or a Hiarcs 7, Rebel
10--EOC--Anti-Grandmaster, Fritz 5.32, on a Pentium 300, with say, 64 ram would
be in outstanding position to be rated around 2600, FIDE elo. This would put any
of these machines in the top 5 or so among US Grandmasters rated by the FIDE elo
system (not USCF ratings). This still leaves us between 150 -225 rating points
shy of World Champion status on a microprocessor. :::Dream time::: Give me a
Williamette microporocessor (Intel, circa, 2001-2002 running at 1600 MHZ with 1
gig ram) and I predict that the elo for Hiarcs 7 would be about 2840. Now that
will be World champion status, OK?
