     Nowadays, I am in principle unable to win vs any good chess
     programs but to get 2-3 draws out of 10 games is still no
     problem with my boring style. Unfortunately I have to admit
     the drawback of my doing: I have somewhat ruined my style
     and am no longer able to win over the board vs even weaker
     players. Therefore, I have stopped my endeavours to play
     further games vs computer programs in the same manner and
     from now on I am going to fight for a win in each game. This
     BTW also makes much more pleasure -:) -:).
     Kurt
