I feel that the shodan level go 9x9 programs have arrived... 

For Suzie I try for 9x9 to establish a Dan-ranking at the next European Championship in Villach/Austria. I am from the techical point optimistic to reach this goal, The major problem is that the games are played at all. I also think that in a relative short time (2-3 years) a Pro-Dan level can be reached. It will be the same than in chess. Its easy to beat Kramnik, Kasparov... but its difficult to organize the money for the match. Once one has the money its easy again. They are eager to defend the "honour of mankind" as long as the get enough money for this (besides Anand who is from a rich family and does not need the money).
