Hello Yar,
I used to have a computer account on ICC.  I can tell you from experience that
high level players will play many games using the same line over and over just
to see the moves the computer plays.  They do this untill they find a weakness
they can exploit.  It's not the same thing in a regulated match.  They have to
find the right move the first time or they get into trouble.  When the time is
short they make mistakes.
