One can choose FOR AMUSEMENT a SPECIAL LEVEL in which Nero moves randomly.
Just a curiosity. Totally randomly choosed one of the legal moves in the
position. Not evaluating anything. So it plays certainly very bad and loses
to everyone, but VERY OCCASIONALLY it COULD win Kasparov... :-) But it must
then have perfectly good luck... :-)

In ordinary levels there is nothing random in Nero. It calculates which
move is best and makes it. (Except calculations are not deep enough, and
horizon effect causes bad moves sometimes. So far (program is very new one,
started month ago) it searches all moves to same depth.)

Example random playing: (This time it seems not to be Kasparov beating)

1. Na3 d6 2. g4 Nh6 3. Nf3 e5 4. d4 Nxg4 5. dxe5 c5 6. Qd3 Ke7 7. Qe3 d5
8. Qh6 Qa5+ 9. Nd2 Qxa3 10. Qh4+ Nf6 11. c4 Kd7 12. exf6 Qd3 ...
