Download the pdf paper Amir pointed to.  It gives a somewhat biased review of
DT (Berliner was _not_ a fan of DT as he did his very best to prevent it from
playing in the software toolworks tournament it did so well in).  It also
mentions several IM and a couple of GM opponents (Berliner primarily gives the
rated USCF events, and did not include the matches which USCF does not rate if
one of the opponents is a computer)..

I will dig up the pdf for hsu's book and print it out again to get the names
and ratings of the players... it might take a couple of days however so remind
me if I forget.  The next two days are very busy here..
