 Yes, and I guess there is a difference if you play a computer and
 want to win the game with all means - or if you play to test your
 normal openings and your normal play. I can also add that after
 four 120'games vs Gambit Tiger, the main impression from IM Berg
 was that "he doesn't understand the play with opposite colored
 bishops at all." Not specifically meaning a clear cut ending.
