The fact remains that computers have beaten GM's Thus they must be GM level to
do it. Its like saying if one GM beats another that maybe that GM is not of the
level, cause he only wins when a better GM blunders, get real !!!
You are right we do not need an opinion poll question, they are GM level,
otherwise they would not be able to beat a GM. Just because a GM blunders does
not make him a GM anymore. Hoe many more win do computers have to do to make
then GM level
