I don't understand his match conclusions?
This was not 1 computer program playing, it is better to understand the match as
it was, 5 matches played vs the same human Grandmaster.

1. The Hiarcs 8 match was evenly played, and +1 vs Gulko.

2. The Junior 7 match was 1 draw, 1 null game were the computer's position was
won, even score vs GM Gulko

3. The Shredder match was 1 loss, 1 draw, and an even score vs GM Gulko.

4. Chess Tiger match was a joke. It did not play...

5. The Gambit Tiger(anti-human) match. 1 draw.

6. The Gambit Tiger(default) match. 1 loss.

Conclusion: GM Smirin won match 3. GM Smirin should of lost match 2. GM Smirin
drew match 1. GM Smirin drew match 5 in a one game match, and won match 6 in a 1
game match.

Conclusion #2 PC programs have once again shown they can play at a High GM
level.

Conclusion #3. PC programs need to lose the human element. SEE match 2 & 5
