Tactics (anti-computer) that work against programs at "blitz" time controls do
not work against computers at longer time controls.

This is a 2467 Elo player.  I am sure he would no problem with most "2100"
players even if he played them for the first time (his ELO would be 367 points
greater).

If this had been a loss for the program instead of a win, there would have been
a few people touting, "Look, this is another example of the type of positon or
strategy that makes a program look like a 2100 player, any 2100 player would
know how to handle this".

Trojan horse, stonewall, dutch, indian, KIA, KID, ... may be a good strategy
(anti-computer), but at 40/2 programs are much stronger than 2100, the results
show it, I have tried it with very limited success and the programs adapt
quickly to the strategy.

Is this the second game?
