hi John
my point was ..you can play against a dedicated computer like you would against
a human opponent..especially in Blitz
this is the fun of it for me
i knew if i complicated the position enough and with not much time left ..the V9
could go astray

the V9 acheives a maximum search depth of only 7 ply after about 45 sec of
thought..
Cmaster or Shredder or Fritz can zoom to 7 ply in 5 sec..so of course they would
not fall prey to these shananigans

it is just fun to play against a computer with the chance one can win every now
and again

Best
Steve
