	You do not need to be a grandmaster to play against computers. Losing chess
games does not hurt, at least not like losing rugby games (:
	If you do not want to lose every game, then you can play against the weaker
engines. I think some strong engines have handicap modes, too. Then you can use
the strong programs to analyze your games against the weak ones.
	Finally, you can make your own testsuite from those games, and do your usual
testsuite solving.
