I think that 2600 USCF is eqvivalent to 2500 Fide and I know that the performance of Junior based on tournament games against human is almost 2500 Junior4.9 drew against 3 GM's in tournament time control in Dov poret Memorial Junior5 lost 1.5:0.5 in the last tournament against GM yudasin at turnament time control. If you add the improvemant in hardware and in the program then I believe that Deep Junior should have more than 2500 fide rating. >IMHO computers still play very weak in a lot of situations.

If this is the case can you explain me How Junior drew against 3 GM's and How Rebel drew a tournament game against Anand. I agree that computer stiill play very weak in a lot of situation but it is not so simple to get these positions in games. Uri
