Sorry, but I am afraid that you are simply mistaken. I could send you a collection of my own wins against computer programs (and will do so if you ask), but what is the point? You would simply refuse to believe that they were ever played. Naturally, the programs will win the vast majority of games against any player below GM level, but they are far from unbeatable. I think you simply do not realize what strong human amateurs are capable of, which is a pity. Please understand that I am not criticizing you personally, but rather your point of view, which is untenable.
