Kasparov himself recently said that these >people who are claiming wins against the top programs are full of crap. All I can say in reply is that a friend of mine who is only rated about 2000 played 10 five-minute Blitz games against Shredder 7; he managed to win 2 of the games, he lost 8, and there were no draws. I don't think he used any anti-computer strategies, he's just a strong club player. On the other hand, he has played many games at tournament time controls, and Shredder 7 has won every single game. If he wanted to boast, he could post the games he won here, not bothering to mention the games he lost. On the other hand, it's easier for strong players to beat computers at Blitz than at longer time controls.
