You can use the "search" command to see that he is well behind in any sort of match total you'd care to count... Second, the longer the time control the better a human GM does against the computers. I've seen him beat _every_ program on ICC... 3 0 is very hard against the computer. As the time gets longer, the tactical skills of the human catch up.
