Well, Uri what i mean is that it will do a better job against a human topplayer
like wourldchampion kramnik as Deep Fritz could do on a 8-waymachine.Off course
you wan´t to know why i think so.Let´s allow me to give you the answer
christophe gave me today of this question:

The reason why playing style is important against human players is that
computers and humans have, at this time, very different abilities.

Ask Ed. If your computer program plays quiet and passive against a strong human,
then the guy is simply going to grab the initiative and the program is going to
have a very hard time.

In order to avoid this problem, Ed has designed in Rebel an algorithm called
"anti-human". It works. It definitely works, and Rebel as an impressive record
against human GMs.

It is very important for a computer program to play with its strengths in order
to optimize its playing strength against a strong human player.

For example, it is important for the program to create sharp tactical positions,
to open the game, and if possible to create king attacks. This is the best way
to make the human player "crack" under the pressure.

It does not even matter if the attack is 100% correct. An attack that will fail
against a computer has chances to succeed against a human.

This is why playing style is much more important against a human player than the
speed of the computer.

This question is to funny for me.But let me say:"I would love to see such a
match between these two monsters."
