1)I understood from odell hall that lev albert said that deep blue and not deep
thought is 2500 elo(I believe deeper blue is clearly better).

2)The difference against humans is not the same as the difference against
computers so you cannot learn from the rating of DT or DB and the results
against micros about the rating of micros aghainst humans.

I do not know if deep thought has better results against humans in the last
games that it played.
You are probably right that the early deep thought had more bugs but humans did
not know how to play against deep thought before 1990 when they knew better
later.

I know they won a tournament in 1989 with 6.5 out of 8 and with performance
above 2600 when they did later only 2.5 out of 7 in a tournament (performance
2410).

I read that they had better hardware and could see 10,000,000 positions per
second the second tournament when in the first tournament of 1989 they could see
less than 1/10 of it.

They did better result later when they lost 2.5:1.5 agains bent lersan and won
the danish team 3:1 in a tournament time control.
