Using incredibly weak openings (1. f3 plus 2. Kf2 and even worse), an anonymous player has been winning in a lopsided fashion against IMs and even GMs. And he didn't even use any takebacks! It's not just computers that have weaknesses that can be exploited. In fast games, somebody (it would be great if it really were Fischer) can consistently take apart IMs like they were beginners, using openings much more suspect than Nemeth's.
