Subject: How anyone can beat any commercial program on any commercial hardware.

1.  Unplug the computer while it is thinking, you win on time.

2.  Search for games (comp or human) that the program has lost,
    turn off learning and set program to default.  Play the moves that
    has beat the program before.

3.  Set your time to whatever you like and set the program to game/1 min
    (or any unfare variation that ensures you win or draw).

4.  Just get some old PGN's that the program lost and put your name on
    them as the opponent.

5.  Make up the PGN's.

6.  Play other programs aginst your program and publish the games as
    if you are the opponent.

7.  Get your GM friend to play the program and just claim the PGN's
    as your own or reset the program to default and replay the moves.

8.  Just tell everybody that programs are so weak that they are not
    worth your time and besides you deserve to get paid to play them.

9.  Remember one game does not mean anything if the computer wins (after
    all, they are all just one game), but if you win or draw, obviously
    the computer must be rated 800 points below your worst performance.

10.  Take 3 months and play the program everyday in serious games.  Reset
     the computer and only replay the games that win.  This is the method
     prefered by the World Champ, so you know it must be the best.
