I realized too that if you allow any human player plenty of time to make his move, he will make a very strong move and the human player does not have to be an IM or GM either. Simply any human who take his time to chose his move carefully, and at least have read some good chess books, which I don't have any doubt that most club players have, will end up making a solid move specially in the middlegame. The reason why most human players don't advance is because they just don't consider all their choices and only after a few minutes later they realized that they have blundered. Simply ask around after any tournament and the most common answer will be I Know that I'm probably 200 points higher than what my rating reflect but I constantly beat myself by blundering and not considering all the possibilities. But on this match against the web everyvody has plenty of time to think and rethink about all possible replies, therefore, avoiding any possible blunder. Pichard. PS:
