Hello Jose,
I don't have a "Favorite" anti-computer player.  In my mind they are cowardly
and looking for "loopholes" in the programs to take advantage of instead of
playing "real" chess.  That's because I'm "pro-computer" and I like to  watch
them do well.
After saying that I must say that anti-computer players have a place in computer
chess and perform a valuable service.  Programmers like BoB Hyatt invites them
to "Show me the weakness in my program and I'll fix it".  What a great attitude!
 He is making Crafty stronger because of them and his own attitude.  I cheer
loudly for the Programs and Boo the anti-computer players.
:-)
