None.... Reason, when humans play against another human, there's that
psychological edge one can have over a human opponent. The fear against stronger
opponents or the aura of superiority can be a major factor when humans play
against each other. With computers, well, one always have to check all moves for
tactical errors, against humans its not really necessary because humans are not
calculators. So, computers can never imitate the human style, if it did it would
have also imitate the human flaws with it. :)
