Hello: 1) When you are preparing for live Tournament, you also consult GM Moves and you choose what the most appropiated moves are for your style. 2) Correction: These "guys", as you call them, have also spent years in compilling, testing and proving many moves for the respective programs. 3) Correcction II: This "Non GM Level" has generally a Elo beyond 2000 and they are more useful doing this kinf of work than a GM.. 4) Correction III: They don't mobe around a few position. They move around hundred of thousands of positions to find the best move for a specific chess program and this is not a process to see "few" pgn file as you can say. 5) Correction IV: When a Chess Writer writes a book about any Topic, he uses reference from other Chess Author. The work of compiling, investigating and putting new view of points is enough to claim his "ownership" over his book. Don't you agree? In this sense, these "GUYS" as you call them, do the same work but for an specific chess program. In this sense, it is better to know the hard work that this "GUYS" do to say that they are compilling a few lines and that's all. Regards, Arturo Ochoa M.
