Of course a human loss is what you would expect at Blitz time control.
You are forced to rely almost completely on intuition since there is usually not
enough time for a calculation process.
So a loss against the PC is nothing special.

Most human-computer games are not entirely fair anyway. The human has to carry
out his moves with a mouse.
The computer OTOH does not lose time at all and can always hope for a mouse slip
to happen.
The move 7.e5 from Mark was probably just a mouse slip. :)

Why don“t we just say the PC has to make his moves on a real board with a
robotic arm? :)
