On the ICS their current ratings r: scratchy (Deep Thought II): 2869 blitz, 2780 standard. gnufour (Gnuchess-4.0 on ?): 2261 blitz, 2032 standard. I think this is approx. USCF, though scratchys rating is probably somewhat inflated.. For comparison, here r the ratings of some other chess programs: bito (Fritz2 on 486/33): 2258 blitz, 2243 standard. katana (MChessPro on 486/33): 2314 blitz, 2351 standard. The strongest chess computer is probably the prototype Deep Blue, by IBM. It will improve on Deep Thought II in three phases: better software, better processors, and more of them. >Paul (p_bati@pavo.concordia.ca)
