Computers! I understand your irony, but I think you are mistaken. They are not
really able to develop long term strategic plans, and they are vulnerable in
this respect. Sometimes the computer chooses a setup which is completely
anti-strategical, but is still able to save itself because of calculating power.
Remember I said draughts programs seem to be less professional than modern chess
programs. This is what makes playing a computer so uninteresting!
