Go up one level in this thread


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?
