Subject: Playing Strengh vs Options

The quest for the perfect chess playing program may be only a few years away, it
would appear that the programs on the market today, ( Shredder, Fritz, etc. )
are all but unbeatable, except for the top GM.  Yes, it's true players like
myself, can at times, have a respectable game against these top programs,
however for the average club player they are unbeatable !
That brings me to options in the program ! What we need now, are programs, that
can match club players strength, say from 1300 uscf to 2150 uscf, and play like
they really are rated at that level. Chessmaster 8000 comes close ! But still
needs some inprovement to play more human like, when you reduce the strength to
try to match your rating.
Shredder 4, 5, and 6 when playing at full strengh ( and other programs ) are so
strong, that their moves are meaningless to the aversge player, be honest with
yourself now, lolololol
So, wouldn't it be nice for the programmers to concentrate on more meaningful
options, that would better match the strengh of the aversge player? I think so!
What do you think ? What sort of improvements in the options of programs, that
would help your game, would you like to see?
