Playing mealy-mouthed chess to get the computer to lose on time is like putting sugar in the petrol tank of a Jaguar or Mercedes....Pretty stupid! "Losing on time" is a big waste of time. Just play chess against a weak handheld computer without resorting to locked positions and mindless repetitions. TJ When I played through the games a clear pattern of play emerges whereby the "anti-comps" build a very locked in and cramped structure (stonewall/Maroczy pawn chain formations), and then do small repeating moves very quickly eg King backwards and forwards to same 2 squares, whilst the engine tries to find a way through the blockade. The engine then loses on time before it can force a win. In their own words.....it's easy with practice !!!
