naturally you can´t reproduce all the moves with different styles. if so you
haven´t got a different style. so you only can check the loosing or winning
moves at a given position. and you can take a look at the games to be able to
estimate the positional play and draw your conclusions. after all the better
style is this one which gains more points in a row of games. and for that the
günes-style is good and well tested.
