This is not my opinion It is more easy to set a prepared a trap at home before the game for a 3 0 game then to prepare a trap for a slow time control game. I will be more impressed if they can beat some non deterministic good machine 8 times out of 10 at 3 0. It is possible to do it by doing a random changes in the evaluation. The program is not going to play significantly worse if you do small random change in the weights of the evaluation(not more than 5%) but it is going to be harder to repeat a game that the player prepared at home and I suspect that part of the games that players win against machines are games that they prepared at home based on their own copy of the same program(learning cannot help because it is a different copy).
