I never said that a player rated 2000 or 2200 providing him plenty of time was
going to be stronger than Gambit Tigert II, all that I said was that I realized
that if you allow any human player plenty of time to make his move, he will make
a very strong move and the number of blunders will also be reduced considerably
and for this, the human player does not have to be an IM or GM either.
