Thank you, Pablo, for the response.  I enjoy your writing more than I enjoy your
250-move games. :)

You make a serious point.

Here follows my view - but remember, I am a "proven" patzer according to the
~2250 rated elite (LOL!) here, who felt it useful to declare their ELO to me to
intimidate my destruction of their analyses.  :)

Your point must be that, even if the programs find a way of fighting 'your'
anti-chess, doing so will make them weaker in other ways (and against other
engines).

But if "Is my opponent a human?" and "My opponent is a human; is he playing
anti-chess?" detectors can be built into a program, and even if they work only
very unreliably, that, in combination with better knowledge about
detecting/avoiding/breaking closed positions, may be enough to remove your
threat.

It won't be easy, I know.

I have no interest in your anti-chess as I am motivated by the wish to improve
my chess (from total patzer level to that of mid-ranking patzer level). I do
this at present by improving my winning against F9/S9 by strategic superiority
and tactical control and carefulness ("very, very, very carefully").

Best,

A.S.
