I had the pleasure to have some serious talks about computers with Loek, he
knows how to play the computer much more than I expected. Note his comment on
12.Bg3? in game-2: I never would play such a move, but I knew the computer would
take the bishop.

During game-1 and game-3 he told me: "this is not the same version playing as
you have send me". Imagine that!
