Yes it should have been much more fun if we still had programs that played the
same opening in game after game after game.....Of course top-prepared in that
single line. One program comes to mind, playing one opening move 1.e4 and with
the answer 1.-e5 in 90% of the cases 2.Bc4......

Guess who should have complained over that behaviour.....
