I should also add that there are several 'multiple-account' programs on ICC, and
that although they use the same program (or group of programs) one of the
accounts will be human only, while the other will be human/computer.  I have
never paid much attention to their ratings, but none of 'em have gotten to the
3200 level playing only humans, so far anyway...
