You tell me a GM who is willing to be exploited like we can the computer
programs, and I might be able to produce a draw or a win also.

Can I program holes in the human GMs book to let me FOOLS mate him. :)

The point is sitting at home cooking up ways to exploit the computer is not what
I would call tournament conditions.

BTW: Eduard only posts his wins, and you don't know what his record would be
under a fair test playing the computers under fair match or tournament
conditions.
