Sounds surprising and interesting. Are there tpyical opening variations which H8
finds by calculation (and wins)? Are the opponents thrown out of book soon?

Even very big opening advantages are no 100% guarantee. I've done an experiment
(opening related, but not book related) with the following position:

[D]rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/3PP3/2NB1N2/PPPBQPPP/R3K2R b KQkq - 0 7

Can you guess how many points the five best attackers lost, in 40 games?

(I assume no Grandmaster will let the opponent escape whoever he is...)
