A computer can make no mistakes. No holes in his memory. This advantage is by far superior to incidental opening preparation by a human on a computer chess program. Look at Aegon and other Man versus Machine events. Humans are scared for the computer books and play unusual openings. Look at Deep Blue-Kasparov and Rebel-Anand. Even these super players try to get the computer out of their books as soon as possible. - Ed -
