Bob has two accounts, crafty and scrappy. Crafty will play anyone and anything. Scrappy only plays humans. It is the same program and hardware. Scrappy will log on for an hour, then log off and crafty will logon for an hour and so forth, both accounts sharing the same machine. Notice the rating difference. Scrappy's games are mostly against GMs. Crafty's games are against other machines 99 percent of the time. Interesting experiment and results.
