An interesting first game in what should be a fascinating match. But I'm really
surprised that Berg wasn't interested in bisecting the board with 9...c4, a
motif which remained available to Black through move 12. I would have thought
this would be ideal anti-computer strategy, with the welcome bonus of also being
theoretically best (at least according to Pedersen's recent book , "The Main
Line French: 3.Nc3").
