Caim was ment to be claim I am not a thief I am the original author for crying
out loud.
And chessbase and New in Chess ripped the original analyses
many important info is left out
So it now  still is fishy for a GM,or a chessprogram.
Not to mention about the lower rated players.
But I am too blaim like the man who created the atomic bomb
by sharing the knowledge.
Which is used to defeat the silicon genius.
But I created it for the theoretical importance!
