It could be that one of the ways to make life more difficult for GMs playing
Chess programs would be to randomly change some of the evaluation parameters
with each move.  This would probably only weaken the program though.  But it
would tend to lend an unpredictable nature to the program.

But probably GMs could handle it ok, & they'd probably just play very closed
games like the average anticomputer player does, and that random change to the
eveluations would fall apart anyhow.
