The computer wants to play something else though than Akopian's 13. ..Ke8-d8. But at least if 13. ..Ke8-d8 14. Ra1-c1 Ra8-c8 we are not mindlessly following a lost game anymore. I think Gambit Tiger would be out of book then. I tried to do some research but I couldn't find any more analysis of the game Salov-Akopian after the moves 11.g2-g4 Nb8-c6 anymore, there is just a mention of a game Lputian-Mirumian Ankara zt 1995 with 11. ..Bb4, that's were the analysis of this game stops... That's in New In Chess Yearbook 42, in an article about this line of the Trompowsky. The article is rather pessimistic about Black's chances after 8. ..Qxd4 though, Ian Rogers prefers 8. ..Nc6 as given later by Nunn in his NCO as well. I just could find a mention that Salov was particularly pleased with this game with which he knocked Akopian out of the Hoogovens K.O. style tournament that year. Salov was playing very well those days. Eelco
