I would speculate, and it is _real_ speculation, that it was in the 2750-2850
range.  Based on lots of things including deep thought performing at 2600 over
25 games to get the Fredkin 2 prize, plus beating kasparov.  Whether it is
stronger than Kasparov or not is a good question.  It is clearly close enough
to worry about.

No, I doubt any program would win more than an occasional rare game vs DB
at blitz.  "scratchy" played on ICC a while and had the best win/lose record
of all time.  That was only deep thought.
