When I was first learning how to play chess, I read an opening book, and set a
big trap for my opponent.  Of course, I didn't get to use the trap, since my
opponent didn't play into the trap, he varied almost immediately.

Same deal here.  Anyone who relies on a commercial program to play the same
openings and the same middlegame move as a tournament version is basing their
game upon very poor premises, and will be in for a psychological letdown in the
almost certain event that the program doesn't play like they expect.
