sure it does.  You just haven't heard the comments he has made, since you
don't visit ICC.

If you believe him, then DT is 2500.  we _know_ that DT won 9 of every 10
games vs micros (long time controls, based on 10 years of ACM events).
what does 9/10 results say?  nearly 400 rating points?

Q.E.D.

either he is wrong, or the micros are 2100.  I don't believe micros are 2100
players...  I think they are 300-350 points higher.

IE if you pick the right set of 25 consecutive games from deep thought, you get
a performance rating of about 2650.  If you take _all_ games it played,
including early deep thought versions with bugs, you get 2551.  All of these
are USCF ratings of course. Best guess is to subtract 50-60 to convert to FIDE.
Either is impressive.
