I doubt "very" much that Deeper Blue could beat the top programs 90% of the
time, like Hiarcs7.32 and Fritz5.32!!! That win percentage would mean that its
about 400 ELO points stronger than the top programs and there is no way that it
is going to beat Hiarcs7.32 or Fritz5.32> 45 out of 50 games!!! Guaranteed!!!
