All the results that I see prove that humans are weak relative to
computers(otherwise they could easily not let programs like tiger14 to get super
GM result and will not let other programs to win tournaments easily).

The last human who proved that he is able to beat machines was GM smirin who
beated programs 5-3 some years ago and even in that case I am sure that better
hardware could help the result to be 4-4 because tiger did a mistake and lost
because of not searching deep enough.

Other humans who played recently matches against strong programs lost and in the
last uear hydra or Zappa had no problem to beat their human opponents.
