I'm not a strong chess player myself and cannot find a satisfactory answer to this question. I was thought that so called "anti-chess or anticomp-chess" could be prevented with just making some trifling changes in engines. But some engine-programmers expressed in this forum that if they would tune their engines against "anti-chess" players, then the engines would be weaker in playing "normal chess". Consequently, it's not possible to write an engine which could play the strongest possible "normal chess" and at the same time efficiently prevent the opponent to play "anti-chess". My question is: Theoretically, is this applicable (to a certain extent) against human players? If relatively weak players can draw against the top engines, why couldn't an IM achieve always a draw against a GM? (using the so called "stonewall" technique) Robert
