I've never seen a program play well, but I have seen some play pretty decent.

Look at the eval of Gerbil and TSCP.  Basically, they are pretty bare.  Yet they
do a pretty darn good impersonation of a person considering that it's just a
balloon stretched over a skeleton.

Bug-free and fast counts for an awful lot.  And (as Christophe Theron once said)
"There is also intelligence in the search itself."

Or something like that.
