In blitz chess (G/5), a computer would be expected to gain over 200 Elo points. In a G/3 game, goodness knows! Maybe you'd beat it if you used more sane time controls. At G/30, the computer would only be expected to gain 80 Elo points over tournament time controls. -g >Wasn't exactly anti-computer play on my part.
