I cannot cite my source. You can take my words for whatever you feel they are worth, and I will not be offended if you dismiss them on the account that I cannot back them up with concrete evidence. I am not sure how commercial programs do at tournament time control, but 3:1 against human GMs doesn't actually seem out of reach. I found Soltis' comments on the game he won in the Velimirovic to be pretty interesting. Maybe you can get hold of the copy of Chess Life that includes the game. Unfortunately I don't own it, I had just read a copy of another chessplayer who was a USCF member as well as a CFC member and had brought the issue it to the chess club. Dave
