No, humans already have no chances in FRC or Shuffle chess against computers,
since they can not avoid open battles and determine the style of the game. The
only way humans can beat computers today is to maneuver the computer in a
position it does not understand very well and this is without profound opening
preparation not possible. Even with the nowadays huge opening databases for
computers the opening is the part of the game where Top-humans have the greatest
advantage.
