Let's see. HUMAN PLAYER: Known for years, then decades, playing style and strong and weak points well known, impossible to play like someone else, opening choice in a certain realm, surprises possible, but then with pro and con aspects (perhaps more aspects) MACHINE PLAYER: always new versions, theoretically with always new style, so that no tendence could be seen and exploited, that would be no problem IF it was for more than 5 or 8 games only, the general limiation by the overall depth can be exploited, but only after some training, the same for the huge opening books for an absolutely new player, so without training and allowance to tweak and twist the complete personality, always with the same high-class GM books, that is nonsense in the end to play little show matches with only few games And you want to insinuate that humans play on that same base their chess? You bet! Rolf Tueschen
