The chess servers are fun.  I encourage everyone to connect.

You can have all sorts of problems beating people who adopt various
tactics, but you can code for that, and it'd help your real customers
because they get something that understands how to avoid their favorite
tricks against other computers.

I know you like longer games.  It's pretty hard to get these, but people
would probably still line up to play an automatic Rebel running on a
fast machine, even at long time controls.

You'd probably catch a bug now and then, or get an idea, even if you
played blitz games.
