While that might be, and probably is true, where the programs do have a time
advantage, we are taking days on each move.  He is an experienced player using
programs to assist him.  All hiw knowledge and experience ASWELL as the programs
chugging away at the problems, now that I think about it longer i wouldn't be
surprised if he draws most and wins some.

Has he said at all what his results have been just playing the programs on their
own at normal time controls?
