Wow ! A chess program that considers playing games beneath its dignity !
That's the best I've seen yet in human-like behavior.

This is not CSTal. It's really CSFischer.

Say, Thoralf, what happened to the old SSDF practice of going to the
store, buying programs and playing with them, without asking anyone
anything ? Talking to programmers is not good for your mental health.
