The reason for this is that 20/10 is enough time to analyse using a computer
during the game. Then the person can mix his moves in with the computer's
moves... IE, when the position becomes "positional" in nature, the human takes
over for a few moves, but when things heat up tactically, the guy allows the
computer to find the correct combination.

When you play 1 1 chess you're pretty much guaranteed that your opponent is a
human.
