Nonsens, spoken by someone who doesn't seem to get the idea of computerchess.

If you find a way to beat a program, you will beat it all the time. Programs are
(almost ) completely deterministic. They will make the same mistake again and
again until programmed otherwise.

It's a machine Gary, wake up ! ( He probably also thinks his car always breaks
down just when he is in a hurry )

Ofcoarse, putting a machine on equal foot with mankind makes a match more
interesting and raises the price money. You would have to make sure that this
equality is kept, so don't win a match, but don't loose it either.

Nah, they wouldn't do that.
