I do not agree on that as preparing against GM Anand is not very easy. I think he has a very wide opening repotoir and can play most any position exelent, given a suffisently long time control. Remeber he won the 40/2 games 1 1/2 - 1/2 last time if I remember right! >The humans can also do better opening preperation against the machine when they >know monthes before the games that they are going to play against Rebel. > >Uri I think Jeroen can build a complete new book until the match, making van Welys spesific preparation useles. He probably know this very well, so if he prepare much at all, he is going to look for known computer weakness in Rebel! Torstein
