They would knock out _any_ of the best super computer programs in town that had to play without its Queen. There you can also see why Steen was such a laugh because he (?) wanted to beat our best resident chessplayers with Elo between 1259 and 2500 (perhaps a bit exaggerating), but he is no computerprogram but only fantasysing. I with my 2000 I would spank him so that he could no longer take a seat for three weeks! I am more poisonous than an oxyuranus microlepidotus! I am really strong, you know! I am perhaps the most vishious player on Earth! I win all my games below the 30 moves limit. My opponents are all living in mental asylums - because I am so strong! With one exception: myself - because I know myself and can save me even if I lose against myself! I have the antidot, if ever necessary.
