How old is that book? And is it being continueously updated? Positional learning
and an outdated book is a bad combination. I'm surprised it managed to get a
draw, but that could be due to an error from the opponent.

Well Bertil, if you want to discuss a certain subject within the confines of
computer chess just open a new thread and see what happens. Everyone is
interested, but when there's few on topic issues to discuss, then off topic
becomes increasingly interesting and who doesn't like to argue, at least for a
while :o).

Best wishes...
