I understand, and I wasn't aware of this, but you are still saying you would
prefer to have a strong IM playing in the stead of a 'GM' computer. If I told
you could have a human GM but the opposing team could choose who played him, or
a strong IM and the opposing team could not, which would it be? It would be the
GM I presume (that would be my choice) yet here you prefer a strong human IM.
