Computers play a very different style of chess.  Supposedly they are best in an
open game against humans, shallow tactics with many variations(as opposed to
deep tactical lines), etc.  Hiarcs has a lot of human knowledge programmed into
it compared to other top programs.

I've also noticed in chessmaster 9000 that some personalities are much stronger
against me then when they are against other personalies with similar ratings.
