Actually, all I know is that Hergott lost the match. I do not know of the
details.

I think that initially, the chess programs would play only a fair (2300) game of
random chess (at least until the middlegame). And random chess would force both
the computer and the human to "think" from move one. However, once somebody puts
together a set of opening moves (say to move 6 or 8) for the computer, then the
humans would get crushed.
