If anti-computer term is to strong a term in this case, then lets just
call it a good line choice to have in your opening book in case your
program mite play another computer. As I told the operator of
chessgenius4 "Fritz 5 is thinking of playing Bxg2. IF it does Fritz's is
lost." I am only an average chess player and I could see what would
happen. Who else but a computer would play Bxg2? Would you have played
it?
