Ah.. I see you were playing Seirawan, very good, you almost locked him out!

So I guess it could be done but it would be tough indeed!

I got locked up a couple of times by strong players in G/2 and had to settle on
a draw...but at long time controls it would be difficult to pull off.

But it appears it could be done, but it would be tough to make this
anti-computer really successful against humans. However, maybe it would work
from time to time, but they would adapt and a machine wouldn't.

Good Game Pablo!
