Subject: Random Moves theory

I refer to CM6000, in the settings for the personalities where you can set a
random setting, which will make CM6000 play more interesting moves.

Just imagine deep blue making an irregular move, then using its power to
calculate its way out of it. Just like some humans, making strange moves to
confuse the other player.

Imagine if a computer was playing a strong games and all of a sudden pulled off
a strange move, you would sit there and think, well it either stuffed up, or it
has seen a line of play which you have not seen.

I tried the Random setting on CM6000 up full, and its very strong, and you sit
their and think, and get very confusing sometimes just to how strong a game it
is actually playing.

Well Just a thought, then it would be harder to make killer lines and killer
themes against programs.

I might be talking crap, and maybe this could never produce good games against
strong humans. But I remember a World Champion called Mikhail Tal, that would
make moves and sacrafices which was not always the best, but what he thought
would confuse the opponent out of the game.
