I would like some feedback on this? IM Larry Kaufman is the most qualified person I know of to judge if computer programs are now of grandmaster strength. Not only is IM Larry Kaufman a International Master since 1980, IM Larry Kaufman work on the first chess program to compete in tournaments against humans, MacHack. IM Larry Kaufman has been there from the start, and if someone is better qualified to judge how strong computer programs are today, please give me there name. Mark Young
