I agree... We don't know yet how a 'risky and/or aggressive' style program will
do against a strong human player. My guess based on some human games I have seen
played against non-GM players at slow not fast time controls is that the R & G
programs(Junior 7 & Gambit Tiger aggressive) will kill themselves in many games
against solid playing humans. My guess is the results will only get worse when
playing Grandmasters.

Solid but active play in my judgement is the most dangerous style against any
human player.
