I admit that humans are usually weaker in tactics.
Inspite of this fact there are some mistakes that programs do only in blitz and
part of the humans can take advantage of these mistakes.

I suspect that for part of the humans preparing against a program for a blitz
match may be more easier than preparing against it for a tournament time control
match.

The trojan horse sacrifice is an example for anti computer tactics that work
against part of the programs without anti-trojan code mainly in blitz(it can
work also at tournament time control but these cases are more rare).

In this case the tactics that was used by f6 was also tactics that can work
only at blitz because at tournament time control only very weak programs are
going to play gxf6.
