I think that that is possible for some reasons:

1. One month is a reasonable time so that the chess player analyzes good
   openings options to play against any program, including lines that can be
   inferior against humans, but good to play against programs.

2. Going out of the opening with a "controlled " position, the famous
   anti-computer tactical  can work well. I believe that the programs
   weaknsses are the same, blocked positions.

3. If Robert Yatt says that several people with rating around 2300 are
   specialists in playing against programs, I believe that a chess
   player with rating around 2700, with a month of preparation and
   stimulated by a reasonable prize, has good possibilities to wins the
   match.
