Shhh!

Please stop posting things like that. If human players are reading, they
are going to understand what to do against programs: just try to draw.
And when the program makes the mistake (sure it will), play for the win!

Ok, maybe it doesn't work any more for DB, or the top commercial
programs. But it works for many programs. I wouldn't like another Levy
to play against Tiger!
