No, the wording led me to believe prior to reading the message that it would be
about a 1900 drawing with a true "Grandmaster".
I believe Dr. Hyatt already posted a note on the question of how often a 1900
could draw a 2500 player based on the rating difference, yet there would
naturally be a lot of other factors involved with a human gandmaster. It is my
opinion that a 1900 player could expect to score more than this number against a
computer...any computer.
Thanks.
