Computer-like styles are very annoying to humans.  I use engines to analyze my
games for mistakes.  I also use them for relaxation whenever I pit an extreme
engine (CSTAL for instance) against weaker engines.  The way the extreme engine
crushes the weaker engine is very educational, chesswise.

I keep a record of my serious (long time controls) games vs my old Kasparov
Travel Champion (rated 2330+ USCF).  I may have mastered it, for I can play
almost any opening and beat it repeatedly (without repeating the same lines).  I
rarely play vs pc engines (the screen is a strain in the eyes).
