Well, why make so much noise about a well known fact???? You know it, everynbody knows it, why do you even care to discuss??? I would not go into deep psychology or any far fetched explanations! The facts are clear and without any doubt: nobody wants to lose! And all Grandmasters are very likely to lose against computers in all stages of the game. To give only one example: As far as I know GM Kasparov is not able to win with a Queen against a Rook when you use Ken Thompson's endgame tablebases. Of course the position should not be mate in one of course, but let us take just a position with mate in 27, for example, which is quite a common thing. Well believe it or not, neither Kasparov nor Karpov can win. They are helpless! And yes, a Porsche is somehow faster than the last Marathon winner, but Porsches are not allowed in any Marathons race! So what?
