Obviously the programmer is incredibly strong if the word champion could not put it away at 40/90. The fact that he was even in a time scrabble adds credence to the strength of schredder. All you hear is the the same lame excuses to much noise, not enough time ect, yet karpov would beat any human international master easily under all these conditions. Again this is never mentioned or considered.
