Up until about three years ago, I was doing the same, studying openings for
several hours a day. Although I was very selective in my openings, usually
focusing on King's Indian and Sicilian Scheveningen. For about 10 years I hardly
missed any important game in these openings! But during the past three years
I've been too busy to keep up with the opening theory.

An opening book usually enables computers to pass the opening stage in peace.
But computers still have problems playing openings which require long-term
strategic understanding. Classical King's Indian is the most evident example of
such cases. I am yet to see a program playing a decent CKI...
