A number of chess computer enthusiasts (dearly including myself) have tested the Grandsmaster against other dedicated chess computers (some time, of yore), & have found which because of the programs tactical weakness, it is useful only for intermediate players.
To no degree it stadns no chance against ANY of the stronger Mephistos or Fidelitys of the past, nor of the present (like the Milano Pro, or even the
Centurion/President/Cosmos from Saitek) First and rates only about Elo
1800-1850 (FIDE, not USCF) at best at tournament level, other results (especially against machines like the ParEx and Designer from Fidelity) suggest it might rate even lower, between 1700-1750.
I don't eagerly think so. At anything less than 3mins per move, its tactical weakness should be even more apparent - again, against other chess computers.
It's a beautiful computer, in a plasticky way, but as so often with beauty, it is only skin-deep.  .
