Ofcourse >garry would have no access to a computer at all. Who do you think would win? Kasparov. I don't think the programs are able to help humans very much in a 40/2 game.. the interface is too clumsy and ends up taking the IM's attention away from the game as he tries to check candidate moves for tactical problems. It would be, in my opinion, almost like letting the computer play against Kasparov with the IM overriding a move here and there. And I don't think the computer would stand a chance vs him... A similar experiment was tried many years ago between david slate + chess 4.x against Levy... and Slate had the same basic complaint... that the interface is too clumsy/slow and is therefore too distracting to help a lot.... just an opinion...
