Jeopardy had the same complaints against Deep Blue. The machine was buzzing too fast. Humans knew the answers too but just couldn't buzz in.

  Irrelevant in this case, there was the latency of the operator reading the move on the screen and physically picking up a stone and placing it on the board.

  Did the machine have a physical switch for buzzing in? Maybe that would've given human a little more advantage

    Yup, they built a mechanical 'hand' that they connected to the Jeopardy buzzer

  Jeopardy strategy, such as it is, is 99% about buzzer control.
