 A try? After the game with Gerbil I dared to play blitz myself against your
creation.

 Result: Latista 3 - Rusty Human 0. I didn't save the games.

 What I discovered playing was that Latista is not only good chasing kings, it
can play a positional, cautious game as well. Two or three times it didn't play
the moves I did fear as strongest, punishing my risky moves. It played solid and
sensible, going after minimal positional gains rather than tactical refutations
of my plan. If it was a human master playing me, I would find nothing strange in
Latista's moves.

 I bet Latista should be an excellent trainer to play against, better for this
purpose than many stronger engines.
