You have a chessprogram that drinks alcohol? That is certainly interesting! I
would think that that would help it to play more like Aljechin! Especially a
glass of good wine can help it taking a more relaxed view of the chessboard. You
should give Trace a few silicon SIamese (Simulated Intelligence) cats just like
Aljechin had for luck and then the cats can drink your milk!

Where am I, this is CTF right?
