I was reading a recent article on the Chessmind Blog and I thought I'd pass this along ...

Even Pocket Fritz is too strong
One of the approximately 30,000 events this August finished a few days ago, the Mercosur Cup in Villa Martelli, Argentina. It wasn't a super-GM event, but was a respectable Category VII tournament with an average rating of 2410. The winner? Pocket Fritz 3, scoring 8-2 (six wins, four draws) and achieving a 2690 TPR. I hope tournament directors of open Swisses are taking note.

the 2008 Mercosur Cup was essentially dominated by the little silicon monster (those who didn't lose outright could only draw). I'm comforted that at least it didn't plow through the competition. However, what if someone at a State level tournament used one of these to cheat? Would we stand a chance? I doubt it.
