I think it would be cool to have a program that only looks for cheapos. Maybe a
program that lets you get a piece up, then comes back to crush you. I have often
wondered if Crafty could be altered to do this. Just make it so that it loses a
piece through awkward play, then change it to really aggressive, so that it
comes back and stomps most humans.
