Humans play probably around 75-125 elo lower during a tournament, There is no way to see if humans are playing 75-125 ELO lower in a tournament because you can't play a tournament and a match at the same time and compare the results. Humans may get tired after 7 rounds, but then they would get tired in a match too. DB-Kasparov match #1 didn't seem to show this trend, though. And Fritz lost more points in the last half of Frankfurt than in the first half. :) In other words, all this is conjecture and [maybe] wishful thinking on the part of us programmers.
