That is >the *wrong* type of opening to play against computers, generally, if *you* >are a computer.. :) That is true that computers are sometimes confused when out of book while being down materially. I have seen programs that, after playing a gambit were thinking that the opponent had the advantage (though quite small) while THEY had the upper hand, but had invested some material in the opening. And then, suddenly, their eval would start to increase as nasty threats could be generated! Serge Desmarais
