This is not exactly accurate. Hyatt has put some effort into making
his program pleasant for humans to play. For example it will resign and it will
accept draws in certain dead drawn positions (such KR vrs KR) instead of playing
on for fifty moves. This does cost it a few rating points.
I gather Hyatt is less concerned about being polite to computers which
I think is understandable. I don't understand why you are playing manually.
