What it shows is Fritz 5.32 or whatever program was used can play at a strong GM
level, when the other player does not know it is a computer. The problem is
anti-computer tactics still do work, and it is more important to play against
the program then the board when playing computers.

IMO: The top programs on the faster PC's still play at a GM level even with
anti-computer tactics. Because computers have lots of games against IM and the
programs tend to win easy, even when the IM knows the computer program.
