I totally disagree.  The longer the time control, the better the human will
do.  Based on watching these games about 30 years now.  IE at correspondence,
a good IM will tear the chips out of most any program going...  At blitz, the
comp is nearly unbeatable...  _nearly_ being the operative word of course.

Hiarcs might be the favorite for you, but my instinct says "human".  At game/30
the comp would definitely be favored.  At game/60 it gets tougher.  At a non-
sudden-death time control, the human isn't going to get into time trouble and
get blitzed...
