But on the other hand, such a program seems to be able to exploit chances you
give to it earlier than others. If you hold out longer against other programs,
you would have to ask yourself, what would the aggressive program have played to
"crush" you as you say... I find programs like Rebel 10 or CSTal II more
challenging right fromthe opening on (after leaving the book lines of course)
than others which play Mr.Sandman chess until I blunder. It a matter of taste.
