Where can i get these games?

I'm pretty sure btw that the king is strongest version of Johan.

most likely people still do not realize how important some home
cooking and especially book + learning is in these matches.

I think SSDF DID mention it several times that the new learning of
a certain program kicked butt, but those interpreting the list still
seem not aware how important learning + new book can be.

Suppose i test 3000 games at home to prepare a version.
Now you go play 300 test games.
That means that there is a PRETTY GOOD chance that from my 3000 test
set games a few lines get used, but it's very safe to assume that those
300 test games are a subset of what i tested to be winning at home.
