Indeed they do, because the games are usually based on brute force tactics. In a few years though, with processing power accelerating it is unlikely that many humans will still triumph.

That being said, there are several chess puzzles that could be manufactured easily by a computer:
  • Forced Mates (Mate in 2, 3, 4, ...)
  • Find Forks
  • Find Skewers
  • Find Hung Piece
  • Pin Pieces
  • Avoid Mate
Probably several more.
