Her ELO is less than 2500. Rebel (for instance) has shown some prowess in this area with similar matches, as has Junior and Tiger. 2. The time control is *definitely* in favor of the computer. The higher the speed, the more the computer is favored. 3. An open style or a tactical style is the worst sort against a computer. Someone who is a slow, positional player and *especially* someone who uses long pawn chains and develops slowly will be a far greater challenge for a machine. On the other hand... A. Give her the exact program to be used. B. Give her an identical machine and the exact configuration to be used. C. Increase the time control to 40/2. And then I am very sure she would win. So, the answer is (IMO) all of them would beat her and none of them would beat her.
