Probably they meant to say the first after a long period withot having people vs
Computers match like the AEGON tournament.  It wasn't too long when GM Boris
Gulko played against three programs Shredder, Fritz, and Hiarcs, but that was a
single person versus three different programs, and the Argentinian best players
also played against Chess Tiger, and then versus Shredder, but again not against
a group of programs.
