Yes, this is one of several ideas that we are trying to implement.

The bottom line of it all is to attempt to get the program to play similar to a
human, but at the same time, to still maintain the strengths of a program.

Only time will tell. Actually, if we were not implementing some of these ideas,
we would have a fairly decent program by now. It just takes a real long time to
get some of this stuff to work even closely to how you want it to.
