Yes I've seen non titled players even get winning postions at ICC at Game 15
only to lose on time. No anti-computer chess was used by these people. They're
just very good players.

If we removed the time losses there would be many wins, proving machines are
very fast but not invincible.

I don't understand why people fail to realize this? Of course you do need to
play a lot of computer chess.

If I can beat programs on a good day then GM's should find this task less
difficult for them.

PS I'd love to see Hydra go down in flames by a very talented computer chess
player. But I'm afraid this isn't going to happen, as Hydra is shielded from
such educated computer chess players.
