So, when you are making the programs you are not programing them for only specific styles geared toward human play and so the books and style are programed to win against the other "beasts" it might have to play against! It seems that it would be so much easier if we didn't need to worry about winning against another program but to just concentrate on making the program have a particular style that would be the most fun for the human to play.
