Hi Roy,
NO NO NO, I was not Referring to Uri at all, I have always (or maybe it is
mostly because I don't follow them all through) had great respect for Uri's
analysis & arguments.

I agree with what you say absolutely, that is precisely where I stand.

I was referring only to the original poster Sergei Smith who in
http://www.icdchess.com/forums/1/message.shtml?195519

said  "The statistically best line in infinity analysis is Najdorf, withou
doubt.  Now my PC is at move 8."

With his posts on the Najdorf Sergei is showing youthfull inexperience & nievity
concerning opening theory.  But I gretly applaud his mission & his dedication.
I look forward to seeing his posts as his experience & therefore knowledge
grows.

Unfortunately I am seperatly arguing with him about software Piracy, & I hope
this doesn't sway his attitude against me in discussing his Narjdorf exercise.
