The only weakness I still can exploit at my level of chess when I play computer
programs any more is setting up a fortress type defense. I still can sometimes
get away with a draw for time to time because the programs allow me to block out
all their attacks. No average human would allow me to do this when playing me,
but a 2500 rated computer still falls for this from time to time even at my weak
level of play.
