Who is interested in studying anti-Computer chess properly?
The average chess player isn't.
You might play worse against humans if you do and you gain absolutely nothing.

Experienced 2000-2200 rated chess players with a very quiet,positional style and
some endgame knowledge should score on average much better than 2000-2200 rated
tacticians who usually have zero chances against the machines.
