It was shown previously that his wins depended on relatively short time games,
(which prevented the computer's search from seeing ahead far enough in the move
tree to detect the upcoming attack), and frequently, a none-too-powerful
computer, or a program that was not quite up to date. CM 6500, or Crafty 17.XX

As mercilous (for one) has shown before, this trap he and Eduard both use is
very strong and real - but since Bob Hyatt has already coded a fix to defeat
that trap in Crafty, (regardless of computer speed), you can be sure the
commercial engines will not be far behind in seeing the problem and coding up
their programs, similarly.

I wouldn't lose much sleep worrying about Eduard demolish your favorite program,
(if up to date), on an up to date computer.
