Why is the importance of opening theory so neglected by computerchess enthusiasts? I am seeing the use of booklines sometimes totally ingnored by posters of rated computer games. It is my opinion, that booklines are the most important part of a chessgame. The quality of "Book",or the "Guiding human hand" for chessprograms has a greate influence as to the outcome of a game. Every good chessplayer trys to reach a familiar position or get his oponent into a unfamiliare position not suitable for his/her style of play. The recent performance of Pocket Fritz against GM's shows a tippical exploitation of ones oponent book weakness. If Kramnik can not find a hole in the armor of Deep Fritz, it is safe to assume that he will not win the match. Therfore I am shure that Kramnik is studying DF,s book over and over again,knowing the importance of once oponents strength and weaknesses, including the all impotant openinglines. Why then are so few discussion on any forum about current opening theory, as to their valididy and or exploitations of them? Just curious, Kurt Widmann
