You don't earn a GM norm playing an IM in a match. So trying >to answer the question "are computers at GM level?" is not going to be answered >by playing an IM in a noisy mall at non-40/2 time controls... You try to miss the point, don't you? ;-) If you win an IM clearly, then you are certainly ABOVE. Right? And what is above IM? Is there something between IM and GM? I don't know of anything. I was not talking of EARNING a NORM. I was talking of GM LEVEL. >And hiarcs did >win... but aren't we discussing 40/2hr time controls here? The hiarcs/Hergott >match was not 40/2. So it all seems totally unrelated to the question being >asked... What was the time control then? AFAIR it was 40/120 or VERY VERY CLOSE.
