Preparing against a superior program is a difficult thing to do (barring
shallow tricks like overbooking), even if you own it and can set it up
at home on any position you like. Ask any programmer. Preparing against
a master, who you cannot drag home and command him to play any position
you wish, and can actually think on his own, is 100 times more
difficult.
