Ciao
Well, it is true this variation is in Junior 7 book. Junior 7 book is quite good
and I personally like it, but includes several variations which are played well
by Junior 7 and not so by other programs like M-Chess and Shredder 6.
This means that using a different book for a specific program results in a
weakening the program which is forced to play (sometimes) variations it does not
like (does not understand what to do).
This something I know since 1978 when I started preparing a specific book for
the program I wanted to use it.
Correct the Hiarcs decision to make a specific book for this match. That's the
only way to handle with these strong players...
Ciao
