How do you know? The weak players cannot do it because of 2 reasons: 1)They have not good memory 2)If they play a line that they do not understand the opponent can do a small mistake and get them out of book when they are not going to know what to do and do bigger mistakes. These 2 problems are not problems of the top GM's and even if they do not know what to do without thinking after thinking they may find a way to punish the opponent who did a mistake. > >>The source of the lines should be of course something that they can trust and >>it is possible that finding these lines is the job of other humans that they >>hired when these humans use chess programs and their own knowledge to find the >>lines. > >I doubt they get the move on a piece of paper with the instruction: Play it! But >what do I know. I believe that part of them do it espacially when they need to play an important match. They have not an infinite time to analyze so they can analyze some lines when the other people in their team analyze other lines. Uri
