No.

It's not the human player who won the game.

It's the human who selected this crappy opening who really decided to give a full point to the grandmaster.

Being at move 9 in an ending two pawns down without any compensation as white is worth the guinness book of records for the most stupid opening choice ever.

Oops that makes it even worse...
The Craftys after 19.21 and before 20.14 were almost
experimental and a lot weaker than all others, because
the eval was totally reworked during that versions.

Guenther, you did read that he modified the code right? It's not really a win against crafty, its more like a win against a crafty clone. Note that I lose the term clone rather losely. Crafty 64bit running on Leo's computer using Marc's opening book wouldnt make those kinds of mistakes.
