Reliability of GM-comp matches is guaranteed by:

1) if there is no money at stake, the GM has its reputation to defend. They HATE
to be beaten by computers, so in this case you can be sure of the GM's
motivation. Or else the GM would just decline the match offer.

2) if there is money to win, just make sure that there is much more money to win
for the GM if he wins (twice more money seems reasonable).
