I'm running pl58 on a Sparc2; I'd agree with the rating estimate... somewhere
between 2000 and 2100 at 5 minute chess.  I would strongly disagree with
"tactically flawless," however, since I have frequently out-calculated it even
in 5-minute games.  In fact, my version of gnuchess seems to hang mate in one
at times for no apparent reason... it's probably fixed in the latest release.
