Computer programs are stronger then any human at fast time controls. We have
many results on ICC to back up this claim. I have seen very strong GM Players
lose 10 or 20 or more games in a row to programs like Shredder, Hiarcs,
Crafty... It is rare to see a draw, and even more so to see the human win. I
can't remember seeing a GM win on ICC, when I have been watching in a very long
time.

This is not to hard to understand. Super GM's have only been able to draw their
matches to programs at standard time controls. ( Fritz, Junior, Hiarcs)
