Hi Castle2000,
The answer to your question is that i have a great deal of interest in how these
two fine engines would handle some of the lines in this well respected opening!
I for one have played the Center Counter over the past 15 years and
have beaten players from low strengh up through strong expert strengh 2100 and
i won one game against our local master in our club who has a rating of 2335 but
this win was with the 2....Nf6 line and not the Queen taking back. Our local
club Master played with the Queen taking back the pawn on move #2 for many years
and says that he done very well with it! I personally been playing the
2....Nf6 line in the Center Counter for years and done well with it. It's by far
not even close to a beginners opening and i wouldn't be afraid to play this
opening against any strong player.

Regards,Terry
