THE REVERSE IS ALSO TRUE !! (ANTI-HUMAN Techniques)

I am an intermediate chess player. I had played on numerous occasion against
most of the CM6000 personalities. Believeme, some of the personalities have
"ANT-HUMAN" techinques. Thar are rated much lower than others but ther are very
strong when they play againt a human. It should be pointed out that all CM6000
personalites ratings are based on computer vs computer games. Clear Examples

   LACEY - only rated at 1560 (on P200) but it will beat you if you are not
careful.
   ROXY  - is rated around 1860 and is not very difficult to beat.

LACEY picks the best move possible (one PLY) and plays very fast. So you have a
tendency to play fast and make mistakes. (very simple technique, but it works)

ROXY on the other hand plays drawish and not very aggresive and waists a lot of
time. That gives the human player time to think.

So I can believe that there are basic techniques that a Human can use to beat
some of computers. Example, a basic one

(1) Take your time, you can never play as fast as the computer
