After all the posts these last couple of weeks, I assumed everyone accepted that
any human can / will beat computers regardless of commercial or not, regardless
of rating.

To not accept this fact and insult people inplace, is clearly the limitation of
your own intelligence. A minimum of 7 games have been posted of lowish rated
humans beating computers, I myself have posted a various collection of persons
beating computers. Wake up they are not Grandmasters !!.
Thanks.
