There's no problem in a position tournament, a Latvian gambit thematic or whatever. It was the point regarding learning about the influence of opening books that struck me as odd. Using a newer or unknown set would have been wiser in that regard IMO. That's all. >If programmers really worked on tuning their engines to the nunn positions then >they deserve to win the contest because it will be unfair if they get nothing >for their work. Using terms like fair and unfair doesn't make sense. If they did work hard on the Nunn positions and lost, then their effort wasn't sufficient or good enough (or they/it suffered from bad luck). But this is rather hypothetical and irrelevant. Regards, Mogens
