For instance, in a match, the GM only has to win more than the program to be successful... IE, he can win 1 and draw 3 and nobody will say the computer is his equal. Here however, if he plays one game, he HAS to win, or many people will be saying that "he could not overcome the computer, because it is his equal....." James
