Actually, I think it would be MUCH more clever if a chess program could rate your play not only according to the statistics of won/lost games, but also according to the depth of your ideas, even if they are bad or losing moves, or according to how much work it may have required to come up with a particular bad move. And the computer should give an even higher score if it is apparent that you thought of a great but wrong idea and rejected it. S.Taylor
