Subject: anti-computer play in delicated chess computers

I have two big problems - Excalibur Alexandra and Mephisto Travel Expert they
both searches five and eight ply respectively. They both like to get a three
tempo lead in development and use it to get a plus-over-equal while eventually
getting a better game against the human. I think everyone knows the GK2100 was
programmed with some Kasparov-like chess stunts. So who is Alexandra Kostinuek
and what is her game based on because I can't figure out what the blink is going
with her name-sake Excalibur brand computer. Obviously, what you can do with
Fritz, Hiarcs, and Shredder may not apply against Excalibur and Mephisto since
they search 33% to 50% less depth ply. I am beginning to see why in that where
the old Fedelity Mach III Master made 2265 USCF chess rating in a national chess
tournament in the late 80's. Of course, playing a prevent defense isn't going to
stop your delicated computer from locking and unloading on you. Please post your
responses promptu!! Thanks in advance.
