Also, now he will never be able to use the same strategy, or any like it because the programmers will be prepared. In their minds, (and many others) it is only a matter of time before it will become impossible to defeat one of these chess machines. I think, however, that until AI is truely developed the human will always have an edge, even if it is very slight, because of improvisation.

Thats not quite true, i've only done a bit of AI but i wouldn't be surprised if complex neural networks were implemented which mimic the neurons in the brain firing. Fritz has no doubtly been taught from scratch by either playing humans or other computers although i wouldn't be surprised if these had been pre-programmed with strategies.
The idea behind deep blue and Fritz is not about the programmers winning but displaying the improvements in computer processing and AI techniques....
(i may be totally wrong!)
