I wonder if other programs, such as Fritz, could be adjusted to play the same way. If so, it would be possible maybe to determine if this style is effective independent of engine design. Incidentally, I wonder how strong the humans would have to be if the Genius were in it's latest version, playing on a very fast computer?
