Interesting comment Kurt!  Do you recommend that GMs play vs computer programs
using their own style and not the "do nothing" style?  Or do you recommend that
GMs not play against computers at all?

Would it be advisable for GMs to play computers using their own personal style
and just play against a somewhat weakened engine so the GM can win more than
just a few games?  I'm talking here about practice games the GM might play to
strengthen his/her play, not public matches vs computers (such as Kasparov vs
Fritz/Junior).
