You could be the BEST EXPERT TOP DOG MOST AI winning general, however, all your efforts will be lost when you play a human player. The AI is as only as good as the programmers. And by that I don't mean programmers are not good players, they can only fit so many lines of code into a program before you need to develop a computer that can handle your program ( Big Blue ). Kinda like the tail waggin the dog. My advice, hop online as soon as you can.
