Hello Rolf. Very good reading from your posts on the first game, Rolf. I agree with your opinions. I have posted here before about how everyone is so focused on code, bugs, kns, position analysis, interface, search methods, etc., but our books have not kept up to play consistently on GM level. I have spent time myself looking at some of these books, all have bad moves that lead to losing positions. we just saw an example in the first game. when Kasparov played his 13.d5, he knew if he made no mistakes he had a winning position. I also have noticed that most here do not spend time checking these book lines and then posting their results. it seems there are only very few that manage the books of the top programs. maybe they dont have enough time, maybe no money is involved in improving these books. if so, then whatever the problem is that allows these books to play bad lines---we can expect more losses of the same type. if a GM has the time, energy, and is motivated to do so----I can personally tell you that there are many moves and lines in our top books that will produce a loss against a GM that has studied these bad moves. now I fully understand why some here are very passionate about the GM not getting the program before the game. kburcham
