I do not think that the importance of opening theory is neglected by computerchess enthusiasts. Most top programs have well generated book lines and it is hard to find new ideas. Nowadays the programs need not play much moves of their own (opening book, tablebases) or in other words: when fighting a computer program you can no longer test the real strength of the programs. That's somewhat a pity and the price of progress!! Is it fair if a program has stored all the games of a player (like Kramnik) in its opening book and prepared improvements at move 17, 25 and so on whilst the Grandmaster has no idea of the opponents book lines?
