I tend to agree with your hypothesis Fernandas, and i think that it is a very
interesting point. My personal expierence seems to reflect your own, I can
occasionally beat our states top player (2368) because every now, and then i get
some kind of tactical shot that because of human weakness the stronger player
misses.  Against Rebel9 or genius5 out of hundreds of games i have never even
once been able to win by a nice tactical combination. My rating is 1888. Also I
have played many international masters and two grandmasters, Strangely I did not
feel like i was being destroyed like when i play against top programs. Often i
would take the superior human player down to an even endgame. Now against rebel9
I am usually dead by move 30, atleast a pawn down! Perhaps that is why I find it
so difficult to believe that computers are not grandmasters!!
