Because he's a strong chess player and has specialised in exploiting a specific
type of chess program's weaknesses by anticomputer play, using trojan sacs and
similar. Import his games into your chess program, analyse (preferably with the
same engines he played against, if available), and you see how this can be.

Btw. if never seen him or anybody else claiming grandmaster performance for
that; naturally he doesn't post failed attempts (neither would I). These would
make a statistic complete, but of course losses are not very interesting
examples for that type of anticomputer play, which is a tightrope walk.
