Is there any match in which a human could reach a draw in the last years? I think the last draws in matches were from Kaspy against Junior and Fritz. I would be glad to be wrong here but results indicate that computers are not at Super-GM-level but _above_. There is still some confusion since you always can find positions which computers don't understand and games in which they played stupid. The same is true for super-GMs as well. But overall the top programs will crush any human in any match (unfortunately). I think the SSDF-Rating is comparable to the Fide-rating and Fruit 2.2.1 would achive 2850 Elopoints in a tournament even on a humble Athlon 1200 MHz. regards Joachim
