Perhaps testing with Gothmog is more fun, since Gothmog has a very attractive
and entertaining playing style. You admitted that you stick to this aggressive
style even though you know, that with some tuning you could achieve higer
playing style, so it's your design decision. You clearly have reached your goal
to create a good _and_ entertaining engine.
