That's exactly the point. Using a 386sx-20MHz again and again against players
that understand where the weaknesses of the program are is a terrible test,
believe me.
For years, they wanted to play against Chess Tiger because it was fun to beat
"the" computer.
Tiger had no learning, and usually the same player tried to play the same
unsound king attack over and over until he won. Usually it took several trials
because the human player would do a tactical mistake. I did not prevent them
from doing so.
I have learned a lot with this.
