Go up one level in this thread


Computer analysis does turn up novelties from time to time.

It also will find a reason why some openings are not played any more (IOW, they
are unsound).

Don't give the computers too much credit.  They can see flawlessly 7 full moves
ahead in a reasonable period of time.  But they don't do strategic planning and
sometimes are ignorant of basic chess ideas.

Given enough data, the data can be combined to produce superior data.  This can
be iterated to produce better and better data.  But it will take a lot of
information before computers can pinpoint mistakes in well debugged traditional
chess openings.
