Not at all. Try running Chess Challenger (the first) at its fastest time control
versus Fritz 8 on a Quad Xeon 2.0 GHz. That way you'll be forced to do the games
by hand too. Mind you, you'll probably need to start over a number of time,
since I seem to recall that it didn't always play legal moves. Do not stop until
Chess Challenger wins a game.
