I believe at 1 or 2 second per move a professional 1 dan would beat
any computers hands down, provided he/she has reasonable motoric skills.
You could make the time so short the human player physically is
unable to move. Or so fast his nervous system is too slow to process
a conscious thought, which has been scientifically proven to take at
least 250 ms. There are these 'fixed costs' that make it incorrect to
see strength as a straight function of time. It's also clear the
human mind is not designed this way. Most players don't play
noticably stronger when given more than 30 minutes per game, no
matter how many hours they're given. Strength of human players
doesn't scale very well with time. The fact that some computer-
algorithms do scale well with time an then say it means something if
such algorithm can beat a human player provided the time is set too
short for the human, that in my opinion is silly and a meaningless
comparison.

There is one way to attempt to adjust for this - give the computer a 1

win in speed go, i'll be impressed then. Although that is a somewhat
different task
