I am really glad this is noticed. I have been working on such a feature
since many years with varying success. With the club level I for the first
felt some satisfaction as the playing style remains sometimes making a
deliberate mistake but never comprimizes to make weird moves, the program
still keeps playing chess.

As a producer one often wonders how many people are interested in the new
stuff you program. Is it used or not? I personally loved the "Blitz-fun"
option we made in Rebel10. But from the Rebel10-poll we noticed only very
people used it. Horrible... :-)
