Robert,

I'm curious, what is your approximate playing strength?  Have you ever played
tournament chess?  Do you play online?

I'm asking this question, because I can understand how a beginning chess player
might share your perception that chess computers are "unbeatable" by
non-GrandMasters.

But even a slightly above average player (~1800 ELO) should be able to quickly
see the computer weaknesses.  Exploiting these weaknesses well enough to draw or
a win is tricky, but if you keep working at it you will occasionally succeed.
