How do you know that. I don't recall that many matches at 40/2 between a modern
strong computer like ferret, and a strong GM. And the matches that I do know
like Rebel vs Anand and Deep Blue vs Kasparov say you are wrong. If you have
data to back up your point please post it so I can see it. Believing is one
thing, knowing is another. Lets let the games play out and see what happens.
