Yes, of course it is better to play a challenge against two or three of the strongest programs on SMP-machines (40-60 games or so), then play a short tournament with a lot of the second-best programs against humans in a few rounds. One of the best performances I have seen against humans was with Comet on slow hardware in a human-tournament, not a bad program but I believe that in example Deep-Shredder is much, much better.
