Sensible/Sensibility?  YES :-)))  one must take into account, a number of things
when evaluating this match.
1st. Is this a new version of DJ, with first class hardware to back it up.
2nd. This match has been pushed back,a couple of time, if memory serves me
correctly, but even if it's only been delayed once, that's enough time to find
holes, which brings us to.
3rd. How long has Kaspy had DJ, for him and his team to find holes in this
program, which , when you think of it, isn't hard for someone like Kaspy +
entourage.

I don't think i've ever seen Kaspy play this opening before.Have you? so one
must be SENSIBLE  :-)))
