Whatever it takes to survive.  Better to defend and win than to attack
and lose...  which is _very_ common against a few particular players on
ICC.

Why open up both yourself _and_ your opponent and hope _you_ get the attack
going first?  Humans are _better_ at analyzing such positions than any computer
program around.  Playing right into their strength is incredibly dangerous...
