[comp.ai] A.I. Chess

I just received a flyer advertising A.I. Chess and touting
it as "the world's strongest PC program."  

Does anyone know any further details?  How strong is it?
Is its strength based on an over-the-board rating or
what?  Does it have opening 'books'?

      The current state of the art is that the hottest Fidelity unit is just
above FIDE 2200.  At the supercomputer end, Deep Thought just broke 2500.
