"where the very strongest humans can still dominate"

I don't know how true this statement is today... A human has not won a big money
computer Vs human match since 1995 and deep blue 1. Kasparov lost to Deeper Blue
in 1997, and GM Kasparov and GM Kramnik could only draw their matches with Fritz
and Junior on fast PC. I would not say the humans can still dominate even
narrowly. I don't see it!
