Go up one level in this thread


A computer will be a GM when they pass exactly the same stringent tests as a
human GM.  That means performance ratings at a contest and establishing all the
GM norms, etc.  One victory over a player does not mathematically demonstrate
anything except the outcome of a single experiment.

However, all that having been said, I suspect that computers are a lot stronger
than I formally thought they were.  It is not inconceivable that some programs
on the right hardware are at GM strength.

To extrapolate that caliber from a single match is not repsonsible.
