You get me wrong Fernando.
I am not interested in a program that has deep main lines.
I watch junior and it's games. I study them. I ask myself:
Why is it winning the championship. What is typical in it.
When I look into Junior's games I see that there is almost no tactical
blunder and Junior is almost never in danger to lose the game.
There are some positional minor weaknesses, but all in all it is able to
come out of the problem.
So, I see overprotection and safety-first-algorithms (always a knight
goes back on the first-rank to save the king or to save the structure).

Than I watch the screen and see huge main-lines. But : The main lines
work.
They are not pure bullshit. If the opponent plays (would play) accurate,
they would mainly work.
This is the problem.
I don't know why you now all try to underestimate what happens.
I am not constructing a new theory. I am in the stage of collecting
data.
The construction of a theory out of it comes when I have junior myself.
So you are to fast. You shoot without having junior yourself. Wait...
