I think that computers are stronger against tactical players only if the players do not change their style of play against the computer. If tactical good players change their style against the computers then they are still better than the computer in positional understanding and can be careful enough not to fall to the tactical traps of the computer. positional players may lose against the computer if they are not careful to avoid tactical mistakes when against humans they have more chances because the opponent may miss a tacticl good move.
