It isn't incredible at all. It is fairly common in fact. Everyone seems to
think that at 5 0 or faster, computers are unbeatable. This is wrong. In a
5 0 _match_ I don't think a computer can be beaten, but in a single game? It
happens all the time.
Chess Tiger is one of the strongest programs on ICC at blitz. Yet I saw it lose
three 3 0 games in a row to a GM over the weekend... It can happen to anybody.
Just don't bet against the machine in a _match_.
