I already answerred that question by beating Tiger on a 1.4Ghz machine
some time ago. If you would know tiger well you know that no matter
what time you give it, if it decides for a move it will keep playing
that move.

I beated it by 'accident' kind of 2 times because i prevented it from
castling. by doing that i lost a pawn, but then it didn't do anything
to escape from that castling prevention (i'm sure shredder would have
done it and some other programs too).

so it lost.

I do not understand why you can't make the induction step that if
it can be beaten at 15 15 (which i use to practice, not to beat compu's),
then why wouldn't it be possible at 40 in 2?

somehow you're the only computer guy who can't make that induction step.

Human obviously is better when time gets better for him.

Try to get a 1800 rated i'd say, perhaps they play without rewards.
