Subject: Questions to Programmers

Hi CCC


 This may an incredibly naive question, I'm going to ask any way, my curiosity
has gotten the best of me.  I think one of the weakness of computers is that
they tend to play the board instead of the Person. Many games I have managed to
draw strong computers because they had taken no risk, whereas a human of equal
strength knowing that they were not playing a strong master might make slightly
inferior moves, with the knowledge that the weaker player will make inaccurcies.
 My question is, is it possible to create a program  which would prompt a person
at the beginning of the game to enter an appromiate rating? Once that rating is
entered the computer would then play in a style that is still very solid, but
will also play with some degree of risk? Or is this just a crazy fantasy? Would
not the computer be mimicking the play of humans, who adjust their play
according to the opponent?
