right, i understand what you mean - it is a game of wits between the chess
players and the chess programmers of course, with the players trying to get
closed positions, and the programmers trying to get open positions for their
program - with opening book lines and specific code in their program.
a try to fool it's algorithm is exactly what it is, that's a much better way to
say it!
