Maybe a real computer advantage is >that they don't get overconfident (or depressed). It depends upon how dumb, I think. Humans can make a freakish mistake, but computers can demonstrate that they have absolutely no understanding, and the human thinks this extends throughout their play, and it may very well be corrected on the next move. I think their level of contempt is more extreme when playing computers, and less likely to be accurate. This is just based upon hearing people talk about computers as they are getting beat after having had a winning position. bruce
