You also could say if pre-knowledge is luck
Then all humans can be lucky against a chessprogram(Just a  mather of training
the memory rather then being a talented chess player).
I always find it to bad I never see anything new in these games.
And it also gives a false interpertation of the strenght diference between
Humans and chess programs.
Because you might find this intresting I did have the game against Smirnin
already on my computer.
(It was a game of the Botvinik personelety of chessmaster8000 against gambit
tiger (It was on an 800mhz system so it might be slightly diferent on the faster
systems And Gambit tiger saw all the attacks And Chessmaster found them a litle
later but just in time.)
Just check it.
I also hate this so called war afair
It would be beter to be objective instead.
Humans can learn much from chessprograms and the other way around
This pre-knowledge based games also don't contribute anything to chess.
It is for this reason why I don't like the late human computer games.
