Agree with Neil and Zorba that Grandmaster isn't the proper setting (for many reasons). Either Supremo or World Class. (I actually think either of these settings would beat Grandmaster, at checkerplay!)

JF should be the weak link. I play a lot of matches against JF and analyze with GNU-bg. Although it does play at a high level (probably equal to the very best humans, ignoring the steering tricks at $-play, and likely a little better because of the no-fatigue factor) I'm convinced the modern bots have a significant edge.

But what about a fast interface??
