I don't count his wins on time as bona fide wins Gerold.
Bona fide or FIDE - if its the latter maybe an open letter is needed!? :wink:

Regardless he wins, due to the fact he creates positions where computers can't use their calculative ablities, imprisoning them behind pawn chains et al.

Nemeth takes a different approach, and often gets wins. So there is still lot's of work to be done.

In my opinion we can state that machines are better when they are better at all time controls (correspondence chess included), and the difference is bigger with longer time.
I think we haven't reached this point yet...
You raised a very good point, and it will take some time before computers can win consistently against a very strong player let alone a GM in corr.
