  What do you mean by boring style? Sometimes it happens that i play against my
computer and manage a drawing/winning position after trading pieces very fast. ,
my opinion is that there are very few people in the world that can hold the
enormous strength of a ssdf top 5 in a classical time control. Personally, i
think closing the position or trading pieces won't work against Shredder or
Junior, maybe if she plays Crafty or Yace she might have a chance, but still
50/50, or better for the computer.
