Dann,

I have not done an in depth study (maybe you or Uri have) on this, but
from the few anti-computer games I have examined, it seems to me that
this works best for people who play that way (my normal style is
an anti-computer style or a quiet style).  It seems that people that
just adopt this this style have less (but not zero) success.  Again, this
may not be true, but I have also seen some pretty poor anti-computer
attempts (K v DB97 for example).  Some just beat the programs by shear
will (Kramnik vs Deep Junior6).

Also, in my limited exam on this, it seems to me that the anti-computer
strategy has changed.  For example, just trade to an endgame does not seem
to work as well today and the Stonewall or KIA are less effective (though
still used with limited success).

Any thoughts?

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
