Hi Vincent,

Indeed, it is a matter of chess knowledge. If people ask me to prepare the book
in such a way that Van der Wiel will NEVER be able to play anti computer chess,
it sounds to me the same as asking me to find a cure against the illness from

My simple device: The best cure against the illness of smoking is: To stop
smoking! So the best cure against anti computer chess is to implement knowledge
to prevent this.
