Because GM have few weaknesses but more serious (one tactical miscalculation and they are gone) and the level of computer play is constant throughout the game. Computers have demonstrated how important is in chess competition to keep the same level of concentration and play. Chess is not determined by who made the most brilliant move, but rather who did not commit the worst mistake. In long jump (track and field), the winner is the one who jump longer in his/her best jump. In chess, it looks like the winner is the one who did not have the worst jump. Is like playig tennis against a wall. The wall does not play pretty but it returns everything. You put it once on the net and you lose.
