Searching about >3M nodes per second. An article about the Fredkin Award. You probably have the printed copy of this but I post the URL for those interested. http://aaai.org/Magazine/Issues/Vol10/10-02/vol10-02.html Note, this is an "Acrobat Reader" article so you'll need that software to read it. To summarize: 1. It's an article from Hans Berliner for the American Association for Articial Intelligence from 1989. 2. The Fredkin prize is a USCF performance rating of over 2500 over a period of 25 contiguous games from human tournaments (no mention of the competition being just GM's - it was any human that would normally be paired over the course of a tournament). 3. In the article the tournaments are are listed. It's record vs GMs was 1 win(Bent Larsen) and two losses. Against IMs it was 5 wins and 2 losses. You called it the Fredkin 2 prize so maybe the above article is on the Fredkin 1 prize? Were there two such awards or just one?
