Instead of showing this lacks, the programs automatically play sequences out of both big books, that let them jump into move 25-30. This is ONE of the reason WE BELIEVE (and i see you are such a believer too) todays chess programs have made a big progress. nonsense. Van Wely did something very senseful: trying to throw the opponent out of its BIG book. >The question is what was the tactical mistake and how much faster should be the >hardware of Rebel in order to avoid the same tactical mistake that Rebel did? other programs would not have played better.
