I have found Snafu and Okrale on FICS are perfect for me! I win just enough to
learn something. As for playing Amateur, I will leave that up to my program, as
I haven't a prayer of surviving against it.

Also, my program has gotten several undeserved points when Amateur ran out of
time. This happens even when there is an increment. You could maybe raise it's
rating by fixing that?

BTW, the wildest, most exciting games we (me and my program :) have ever played
were against Amateur. :)
