Dear Mr. Hall,

I agree with you 100% on this point.  The damned things are getting too strong.
Anybody that plays a stonewall attack is just boring himself.  Chess should be a
dynamic game and not a Maginot line.  We know what the Germans did to the
Maginot line  and the same is happening in computer chess.

There are, however, a number of openings that are not played well by computers.
It is possible to add the correct response to your computers opening book so
that the machine doesn't keep falling into the same trap over and over.  That is
, unless you like to beat the machine the same way all the time and think that
you are superior to it (we are superior to the machines)...  I have a weak
checker program that I beat 95% of the time and yet it beats most players all
the time.  It gives me personal satisfaction that I can cream the box.  I do not
do so well against my strong programs and so I play them less often.
