Some of my wimps have done OK against IM's, although I can't find any games with
GM's.  Pinky (1/6 second per move on a P5/100, no pondering), has well over 50%
against IM Hartman.  Spinach (1/10 - 1/20 second) has a negative score in 90
games but won 32 of them.

I think anything modern can beat a GM on anything that it will run on, at 5 0.
