I think it depends on the person It is possible that a FM with a different style can do better than I.M Dean Hergott. It is also possible that a Fide Master who played 90% of his serious games against machines and know their weaknesses has good chance to beat Hiarcs7. I do not know. It is interesting to know if there is a master who wants to play a match against a top program when the loser pay the winner money. The operator of the top program may change the opening book of the program and also does not have to use the same program for all the games to make opening preperation hard for the human. Uri
