What do you bet? That the program's analysis is better?
Then I can say you already lost, I did it with OPEN (!) positions, see the game
Gambitsoft-Forum vs IM Hans Klarenbeek, game still to go on.
HUMANS (in my club) came up with GOOD, JUSTIFIED and REASONABLE move suggestions
and IDEAS. Programs only had stupid move suggestions (or even worse ideas), e.g.
16.Nf5 and 16.g5 were suggested. 16.g5 might have been a considerable move but
16.Nf5 is not.
