this isn't uncommon in teaching games -- the idea (i think) is to give the student opportunities to make good moves, providing them with opportunities to learn through good play, rather than winning by the maximum margin possible, where they may not even be able to understand their own bad moves or their opponent's good moves. of course, making the realization that you're playing against someone who can win by 0.5 points at will is pretty frightening. s. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos?
