Yes! Since as you know a program is only as good as the opening moves it plays.
Even Garry Kasparov would lose more if he plays inferior lines. Thats why I
think it was fair for Fritz5-Rebel9 game to be replayed. You can really get some
Skewed results if the books of the programs are not set up right. As shown by
the Fritz5-Rebel9 game. You would not put Junior 5 into a tournament and set it
up to play any old line, would you?
