This shows a total lack of understanding of chess.  You only have to visit
ICC to see GM players _regularly_ win blitz and bullet games against the
highest-rated players there.  Not matches very often, but they win games all
the time.  No computer would go undefeated against some of the good
anti-computer players on ICC in bullet or blitz.

The above I agree with, except for maybe 2.  I think some matches would be
lost at game/30, although the computer should win more of them than it loses
I am sure.
