Shredder and Fritz can not play FRC, so my statement was hypothetically: if the
programmers would implement the FRC in Fritz or Shredder they would win every
match against a human.

Yes computers play crap in the opening, but this is only crap since we have the
opening knowledge of 500 years and therefore can qualify some moves as crap. In
FRC humans will play crap in the openings too, since they have no theory to
recognize. There was a match between CT15 and a Fidemaster who was allowed to
use CT15 too on a ten times slower computer. He lost and said afterwards that
for a human it is hard to find the setup you want in the opening since you can
not rely on your knowledge you must calculate every line.

Svidler is undoubtedly stronger but nevertheless humans will have difficulties
to lure the programs in the sort of positions which humans still can win against
thwe programs.
