He wins on time.
I saw few cases when the computer on time trouble when it got depth 1 did some
stupid sacrifices and lost but usually it is not the case.
In game with increasement without the chessbase interface I do not expect him to
get more than a draw but he can get sometimes draws against the machine by
closing the position.
