Several, from _lots_ of experience.  The more time per move you give the
players, the _better_ the human does relative to the computer.

You only have to do a simple test to see this illustrated...

Play any good player, using a computer.  Play him 10 one minute games,
then 10 5 minute games, then 10 10 minute games, then 10 15 minute games,
then 10 30 minute games, then 10 one-hour games.  That is far enough.  Look
at the results.

I think the trend would be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.
