This will lose games against a smart operator of another program.  All he has
to do is set _his_ contempt factor positive.  Tiger will slowly be forced into
a -.3 corner in _every_ game to avoid a repetition.  IE imagine giving your
opponent the ability to choose a book line such that you start off at -.3
every single game.  I did this in crafty for a while (and still do against
humans).  But against computers, it is _definitely_ bad.
