That's great!  My only reservation is that I wonder how realistic the emulation
[of human play] is?

If a GM wishes to use "Deep Sjeng" to emulate the play of human GMs, can that GM
get what he wants?

If an IM wishes to use "Deep Sjeng" to emulate the play of human IMs, can that
IM get what he wants?

If an amateur wishes to use "Deep Sjeng" to emulate the play of human amateurs,
can that amateur get what he wants?

My assumption has always been that realistic emulation of GM play is not
currently possible, emulation of IM play reguires a very strong engine, and
emulation of amateur play may not require a super-strong engine.
