IMO, this is 100% true. Playing against each of 20 opponents 10 games would result in far more reliable results than playing against 5 opponents 40 games, though the total number of games being the same. There is a number of sufficiently strong programs available with auto232 support (e.g. Crafty, Crazy Bishop, CS-Tal, Comet, Patzer, Kallisto II, ...). I think also that the book learning (=cooking) results would "average out". A line producing good results against one opponent would often turn out bad against another opponent. The current state of the art of book learning is far too naive to produce a real increase in playing level, but book learning can however temporarily produce improvements against a limited number of opponents. Or does any high level player omit a line because of one negative result ? That's not the way the opening theory is being developed but whole trees of variations have to be analyzed in order to establish a theory line. Regards, Uli > ...
