Subject: Alex Kure Opening Preparation was not as good as Jeroen Noomen ?!

The good result of Gambit Tiger in the Dutch Open is due mainly to Jeroen
Noomen Opening preparation before the match. Even in Rebel's Page Jeroen
mentioned that certain programs were trapped by his opening preparation and only
in the match against Quest, Gambit Tiger did not managed to trap Quest as he was
expecting. I have to give a lot of credit to Christophe Theron for his excellent
program Gambit Tiger, but what most people forget to mention is that without a
good opening preparation just before the match start, the program will not
perform as good with its original opening book. A case in mind would be Frans
excellent program Quest (Fritz 7 beta version) mainly played with its original
,fritz 6a opening, and another excellent program is Nimzo 8 which I believe
played without Alexander Kure making any special opening preparation before the
match. Now I have a question for Alexander Kure in regard to the match between
Nimzo 8 vs Patzer.
