 That was very far from the claim... Certainly it's not a question
 of a master doing better than a GM. More that a prepared master
 just might score much better than you may think. Due to observed
 comp weaknesses of the grave sort. The two KI exchange games vs Smirin
 (with an early dxe from white) don't present any greater challenges to
 a master. The Botvinnik attack, as in Smirin's win, is known as almost
 killing for the programs. We see drawn endings with comp evals of + 3.00
 etc. So IMHO a well prepared and motivated master is going to score points,
 more than some people think...
