(...) At least they could re-invent some of it. Even at standard time controls without books, there are impressive lines reported sometimes (including real opening novelties): In the 1st example I remember, Chess Tiger vs. Hiarcs 7.32 play a common theory line up to the 5th move (I'm not sure if really both played without book here; they followed known lines even until the 8th move). A nice computer surprise happens at black's 8th move. See my comment there: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&safe=off&ic=1&th=e119d4fa4d27fb5e,2 Or here, CM6000 invents a gambit for black at move 3! Chessmaster sacs a pawn for developement. If not perfectly sound (?), I'm sure that it will at least not be easy to refute. CM8000 likes this sacrifice too. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&safe=off&ic=1&th=b2d8e08a2cbcd671,2 Regards, M.Scheidl
