If preparing at home a line against a computer is not anti-computer play then I do not know what is anti-computer play. The line that adams played was very good at blitz but was not good to win at tournament time control. Kramnik was the only player who won but other also prepared against Junior Akopian played against Deep Junior 1.e4 b6 and he did not play it against humans. Khalifman played 1.e4 g6 and he did not play it against humans. players play different opening against a computer and I guess that they have a reason. I guess that they know that playing normal is more risky for them. Uri
