Realizing that it is position specific,do humans generally have an advantage in seeing drawn positions? 2. Does the computer's clear vision of short to moderate range tactics become an advantage in the sense of freeing up your thinking so as not to examine such variations? That is, do variations and plans arise that you might consider given a human opponent that you would otherwise avoid when playing a computer? 3. Do you think it important do prepare for a specific computer opponent or is it enough to be familiar with computer play in general? 4. Do you believe a computer opponent can be pushed into a certain mode of play by strong players or is your frame of mind more, "I will play good moves and react appropriately as the computer opponent mis-reads the position"? 5. Do you prepare specific openings against a computer or enter the contest with more of a general plan? 6. Is it more advantageous for a human to play a computer in a match setup like this one vs Rebel when compared to facing a computer in a tournament? Or no difference? 7. What other players do you believe would perform well against computers? 8. Ever consider writing a book about how computers play by annotating games and pointing out their shortcomings? 9. What is your most satisfying victory vs a computer and why?
