Played over the games and agree they are nice. Nice in my opinion because
the play of the winning side seems so solid. It seems these programs
of today sure know how to convert small advantages into ever increasing
bigger ones. No real stunning combinations in these games but nice
manoevering to get pieces to active squares.

There was a time, when I used to get frustrated when I could not beat
chess programs. I usually lost because of some goofy blunder. Or even
when losing could often swindle a draw or a win. Most my defeats from
computer opponents today are similar to these above two games. I fall
a bit behind as I get out manoevered and cannot escape their icy grip.
