I agree with both of the above.  Computer chess programs currently have many
holes but those holes WILL be increasingly closed by their programmers as time
goes on.

The day WILL come when a human beating a top program on a fast computer in chess
will be an incredibly rare event.  But today is certainly not that day, as there
are numerous players below IM level who can frequently beat the top programs.
(AFAIK, there are NO humans below IM level who can frequently beat the top GMs.)
