There seems to be two scenarios here: 1) a Group vs. an individual CVer

2) a GM vs an individual CVer

I think in scenario one, that most of us here would defeat a large group that all submitted moves with the most common move being used. This being due to the bell curve principle which would weed out terrible moves and brilliant moves... leaving the CVer to face average moves.

In scenario 2, a CVer may do well against a GM. It depends on the game. The further away from chess the better the CVer's chances. The GM can't count on his memorized ECO lines, his tactical pattern recognition... and, the CVer will be likely not to blunder. Would the GM win? I honestly don't know. But I would not think it to be a sure thing.
