IMO the problem of the programs is handmade by the opening-preparation. Most often the opening-advisor prepares an opening a HUMAN beeing would play very good/have good chances. Or both or one team/program trusts an opening-line that is good for human-beeings, good in normal chess. but IMO it is completely irrelevant how the human beeings or the opening-book advisor likes or plays the position. the program has to do the job. i wonder how long lines they play, as if the engines could not play their own stuff that is NOT human-chess-theory. IMO they should better throw the opponent out of book in a rare opening, with a 2nd best move instead of following an opening-line THEY have in their book but the opponent has prepared a trap... they give away points for nothing. imo the problem is the competition of advisors at championships. instead of trying to find a way out of book they play their favorite openings. this gives the team of a chess-program a weak point, and the engine suffers idle competition between the opening-book-advisors. i wonder why they follow certain lines for so long.
