Hi CCC


  I have been thinking for quite sometime now, why the extreme skeptism when the
question of computers being grandmaster strength is discussed?  What more
evidence does anyone need, other than the esteemed International Master Larry
Kaufman? Certainly a Man who has regulary competed against Grandmasters, and who
also has a computer chess backround would be by far the most qualified person to
know.  Surely his judgements are based in his own personal expierence playing
programs. Chess programmers Certainly have alot of knowledge about computers and
how computers play chess and ofcourse have much valuable information to offer,
however when it comes to the question of strength I would trust the judgement of
a average U.S. Master over any programmer. I would like some feedback on this?
