I think Deep Blue at best is not better than 2650 to 2700 Fide. People are overestimating it's strength just because on few games. The twelve games that it played in 96 and 97 weren't really impressive. Kasparov *lost* the 97 match by playing weak. But as far as the quality of games is concerened, Deep Blue made silly blunders, even tactical blunders, something which computers are supposed to be at best. For example, Deep Blue's tactical blunder in game 2 that would have forced a draw, or tactical blunder in game 6, 1996, where it could not even calculate a simple combination accurately and allowed 22. Bxh7+. If took real pity, I would rate it at 2650 to 2700 Fide -- AT BEST.
