Mike,

Have you been talking to somebody that knows me?  :-)

Yes, I know that is the case from the times I have played against humans that do
attend chess clubs.  Initially I would fare very poorly, but after a few
sessions, my game would begin to approach my normal level.  My computers are
quiet, and never try to intimidate me (other than my Phantom Eyeball, that is).
