 As Sarah wrote: In that post "you will find a weak player beating Fruit 2.2.1."
 Correct. Maybe it's an insult not believing that weak players can beat engines?
 But it's a huge difference between trial-and-error - repeating openings/games -
 preparing variations by knowing the engine book in beforehand - and just to sit
 down and play the game as it happens...
