For me, Sekita is a tougher opponent than Kakinoki 2.  Once in a while it
wastes moves, like pushing a pawn, my pawn takes, his silver takes,
I drop a pawn on the same square, his silver retreats, and now it's the
same position, except it's my move.  That's the only quirk I can think of,
but Kakinoki wastes moves like this, too.
