Takata >USCF Life Master >Fide Master >Lover of Chess I totally agree, and I would go farther and say that most GM rated below 2600 on the FIDE scale (and not one heading south, because of retirement or age) would be ata disadvantage against the top programs running on 450 MHZ Pentium 2s or Hiarcs 7 running on a G3 233 or higher. If a few of the members of this club would spend a little time looking trough the archives that we have at this web site I think more would be inclined to agree with you (e.g., check out games played by software running on slower machines than these doing very well at AEGON and in match conditions at 90 min./game.
