A computer program then cannot be Im or Gm by >playing Game\60, but it can certainly play at Grandmaster Strength at that time >control! Why do you want to call it a GM then? Just call it a 'darned good fast chess player.' And I will also agree that if you play the games really fast then computers will be better. If the title has no meaning, then don't try to attach it. Everyone knows that computers are the best in the world at blitz already. If that is what you enjoy, then you can know that you have at your command something better than any human. But at tournament time controls, we do not have any proof yet.
