It's not a matter of being GM or not, The point is, how strong the engines play
with that time control and how a correspondence player acts, when he knows
nothing about his opponent (no chance for anti-computer strategies, no special
preparation etc.).

I am sure many FIDE-GM playing with time control 2h 40 moves would loose nearly
all these games, if the engines play with several days per move.

Don't underestimate neither the engines nor the impact of a correspondence game.
Many FIDE-IM and some FIDE-GM face big problems when trying to play cc. Mostly
they are not as successful as expected. You can even watch this at the server
chessfriend.com, where you already watched the games.
