Maybe. OTOH it also might be interesting to see if he can draw. Humans that not
play for a win seem to be hard to defeat.

Humans that not play for a win but recognize a change to win without a danger of
losing have the best chance to beat a computer imo. Most humans however seem to
forget this strategy after winning 1 game.

But still, if Adams can draw any game at will, chessprograms still have a long
way to go.
