Actually, winning at blitz against a computer is more impressive than at 40/2
(or even more so at correspondence time control).

Computers will hit the exponential wall at some point and basically "make almost
no progress" at slow time control.

At blitz, the computer will make new depth in a very short time.

At lightning, the computer will dominate.

At G/10 seconds, I think a good program on a fast computer would {should?} never
lose.
