Not nothing but not something about chess strength alone. The main variable is
here that you simply cannot use your normal chess experiences as a human being.
You must adopt a specific anti-computer play, otherwise you have no chance if
you're not a super GM. Reason: comps cheat with opening books and table bases.
Well, "cheat" in the known FIDE sense.
