I know some guy who want to be defeated, but don't know anyone that can defeat him. Including chess engines. He want to stay anonymous and I will not reveal his identity. Apparently he can defeat any chess engine. He don't care about time, he says all players must have all the time they want. He says I can put the computer all day to work on 1 move, but I will not do that. I will not toast my computer to do that. He says someone who play fast don't like chess. Because if you play fast you make bad moves, and if you like to play bad moves you don't like the game. I don't agree with him, but whatever. He don't know openings, don't read chess books, don't use computer assistance, don't use annotations, etc. And don't cheat. I know him.
Here is an example, it is him, only his mind, no computer, no books, no annotations, nothing, 1 day per move. Against Komodo 5 64 bits, 512 MB of hash DDR3, Pentium Dual Core G620, Komodo alone, no opening book or endgame databases, 60 seconds per move.
About move 35 to the end, the guy played very fast, about 5 to 15 seconds per move. But I keep Komodo 60 seconds per move:

As you see (you don't know him personaly as I do, maybe you don't belive me, but whatever) a human can defeat a top chess engine. Time is not a factor for him.
