Go up one level in this thread
but an opening book is nothing else than the results of playing out the lines and seeing who comes out better: shouldn't a computer's algorithms be able to compute this firsthand? As you say, sometimes it even comes up with innovations by doing this instead of just sticking to the book. Cant a program, simply by using brute force, reproduce the results of any opening book, given enough time? As processors become faster, a program should be able to produce a opening tree in less and less time. If a computer has access to a book and database during the game, while the human has to rely on what is in his memory, then its like a human/human game where one human has book and database access while the other doesn't: is this fair?
