The narrower the book, the more easy it is to cook it. If the opponent has a wide openingbook, a lot more 'work' has to be done! >I would appreciate programs playing all kinds of different openings and >have a great variance, maybe also gambit-openings or weird openings, >although this would maybe decrease the strength a little. This is what I had in mind with the Rebel openingbooks. Although I am not to keen on weird openings, I support the idea that the program should play with a lot of variety. To play 1 ... c6 only after 1. e4 (like in the old Mephisto Lyon days!) is definitely not what a chess enthousiast wants. Regards, Jeroen
