I would agree that preparation (say a few months) and match play (say 6 games,
short and plenty of time for the human to rest between games) will increase the
performance of the GM's.  However, for tournament play (not match) the SSDF is a
good rating.  For match play, the SSDF is about 100 points over (this is rough,
could be higher of lower depending on the preparation and style of the human
GM).  This is also true for humans.  Even Bobby Fisher had a loosing record
against some in match play (Byrne comes to mind).

The SSDF does a good job for establishing ELO for the comps, this ELO can be
compared to Tournament play against FIDE rated Human's (FM, IM, GM).  For match
play other variables such as preparation, experience, match length and style can
increase the performance of the human (reduce the performance of the comp) by
about 100 points.

Just my take.

Best Regards,
