A little while ago I played CrazyStone against it's server-version for some
games. I was very impressed with its playing strength. But IMO its greatest
weakness is not timid play but totally giving up when things get a little
complicated, even though I think the game is still up for grabs. I think
this is what Don is referring to. OTOH, it often did a good job avoiding
those complications. But if I could get it into a situation where there's a
fight with each side having two weak groups or more, more often than not
the bot would just roll over and die.

My greatest weakness is relaxing when I think the game is won :)
