If you had infinite access to the GM, and the GM either didn't learn, or you
could manually reset him between games, and he was guaranteed to play the same
thing in response to any particular move, you could do this, but maybe not with
1. d4 h5.  The point of 1. d4 h5 is that it removes the program's ability to
vary while attempting to set up a long-term trap.  A "read-only" human would see
this.  But if you beat him on a tactic or a simple oversight, you could repeat
it forever, and it's just a matter of playing enough games that he makes *one*
mistake that you can cash in on.
