Subject: Human rating differential compared to Computer vs. computer

 I have read that in standard play a human rated 500 points higher
 than a human opponent would never lose to that opponent. While I'm
 not sure that is always the case (always exceptions) in general its
 probably pretty accurate. My question is how does this 500 pts. differential
 with humans correlate to computer vs. computer? Obviously blitz is
 quite a different game so I'm speaking particularly of standard play
 slower time controls. In computer vs. computer at what differential
 would the lower rated computer be in the position of trying to sink
 a battle ship with a BB gun?
