I know and I mentioned the fact that Deep sjeng is clearly better than movei. My point is that even with weaker engine I can win in a line that is not the popular line. I see that you can get the line by tranposition but after 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 the popular line is 3...g6 and not 3...c6 >So what exactly is the point of this?

Consequently, it can't be a) a bad opening b) good to throw Sjeng out >of book. Movei was out of book after 4.f4 Vincent claimed that 1.h3 is bad and cannot work and I do not think that 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d6 is better than it. Uri
