Definitely :)
Humans play better at long time controls!

Didn't you guys notice all the talk about how much the quality of the games at
eg. the FIDE VM has declined with the new time control?

Computers however, slowly stall because the tree grows exponentially.

Against computers I think humans would have more time to calculate the precise
tactics in the deep lines, whilst the deep lines would still be too deep for
computers.
