Thanks for the posting of your games.
In assessing the pros and cons of computer chess,
I believe a negative aspect for the computer is its inability
to know the opponent.

Here is an idea for chess engines. Have the opponent enter his or her
rating, and then program the engine to choose an appropriate opening book
and possibly a specific playing style. Could coin this the "Lasker" effect,
since he often purposely played moves that stirred the pot.

Any other thoughts on how to overcome the problem that computers treat all
opponents alike?
