This is a rare >line to be sure. If I started choosing the openings for a computer >program. I to could get much better results with any program. CSTal has a big book. Big and wide. Not only grandmaster games. Also stupid learner-games. I can switch 3 different usages: STRENGTH (i can select the moves sorted for results and it will chose the strongest moves) popularity (it will follow the openings sorted by the number of material is has baout this move ) randomn (it chooses the moves without any preference. This gives funny games of all kind. You see one example.) The best opening is IMO the opening where cstal's engine gets the fastest possibilities to create an attack or to manipulate the game. When cstal follows theory and opponent has also theory, than engine cannot influence the game much. Therefore, and also to show that openings are completely unimportant, random-switch is better !
