Sometime a strong player just does not play at is best precisely because he feel somewhat bored to play againts a clearly inferior player. Like the story of the race between the rabbit and the turtle. Of course the win exist, but, it is a win againts the GM or it is a win against the lazy rabbit? This arises the problem of when and where you are what you are. Sometimes, in alesser level, we experience the same playing againts "weak" prorams; we just cannot concentrate enough as much we think we are going to win anyway and then... Fernando
