In particular, the more advanced computer technology becomes, the worse it fares, to the point that the computer vastly outstrips the lifeform's intellectual capacity. Also, if you were truly talking about games where the opponents are identical to human opponents (save that they are against AI)... then what are you even saying? Their capacities are identical? Rather, I took your words together as a whole and it seemed to be an argument against the computer's capacity to utterly outthink a person (hence the former part of my response)

But once the human has played against other humans and learned to outplay their stupid fellows: their new tactics you will find laughable as you smite them with a solid strategy whenever they dare show their face to you again. Don't they know that while the human's away, the imp will play?

An "Ai" need only be programed very well to be "smarter"... and if this was really an "AI" we are talking about, then one would expect it to learn and better itself. As for winning under completely fair settings... that happens all of the time. At least it does with what I call "fair". What is this "completely fair setting" that never happens for you?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
