A complete list?  I think you know better than that.  Only Dann is THAT
organized!

But here's one link for starters:

http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?222952

And follow the link that the above message has as well -- especially the section
about Eduard's games.

BTW, being a skeptic is a good thing, IMHO.  In fact, I am a skeptic that a few
early failures* by GMs necessarily implies that they will NEVER wise up about
playing computers or adopt skills like Eduard's.  :-)

*Footnote to the word "failures":  Most of the GM-versus-PC results are by no
means major failures, either: 3 of 8 by a GM in his mid 50s (Gulko) who had not
played computers since 1995 is not bad!  Imagine how well he might have done if
he'd spent a month studying with Fritz 7 and Eduard.
