Again I do not get the point. You want to prove an opening line wrong by taking
this BLITZ game into account???
Sometimes...it is really helpful to take a longer time control. For example in
the line you posted above. On my slow (!) 600MHz Athlon Hiarcs has
14...e5 with -0.62/9/41s, -0.37/10/1min06, +0.52/10/2min07 and changes to
14...f7-f5 after 5min17 (0.00/10), stays there at 0.00/11/9min56 and plays that
move at TOURNAMENT timce control after 11min10.
I don't know whether this saves the day, but it is definitely of other quality
than your g/5... I call it SHIT and not test. Such games have no value of
anything concerning CHESS. It is indeed counting games and numbers to see
rankings in 5min games, but it has NOTHING to do with CHESS.
If the base of your disappointing results and assumed crappy opening book are
such games, well there is no need to say anything more, this speaks for itself.
And it leaves a bitter taste of what you, Chris and some others try to do here.
