I think thats not the way of humans weak playing. If you scale 'knowledge' back, a human can use this and play better. If you reduce extensions the human can use horizon effect. A downscaled chess programm should 'oversee' some things. I mean it should do a normal search but randomcally make mistakes. For instance to forget a hanging peace. I don't know if commercial programs have a such approach, I think but it would be nice. Olaf Jenkner
