I assume that if Hiarcs 7 wins the match or draws you would then be willing to conclude that in all probability Hiarcs 7 deserves to be rated at GM strength, right. If Hiarcs is really only a 2480-2510 program, Mr. Yermolinsky would be expected to score 4-2. However if the program is operating at 2600 + on my system, he should be no better than even money to hold the draw. I expect that the performance rating for Hiarcs 7, based on this match, will be FIDE elo 2600 +, which would imply a 3 score or higher for Hiarcs in this six game match. Regards, Matt Frank
