Go up one level in this thread




exactly my feelings too Omid.

One thing I cant understand is why these opening books have such problems this
late in life. Running some of these opening book lines is like playing Kasparov
with an old 386 33mhz. It would seem to me that mhz, ram, operating systems,
most chess programs, egtbs, etc. have been developed to a competitive level.
It seems the weakest link is the opening books. I agree with Omid. someone needs
to get these lines out of these books.

Why hasnt Kasparov played this D45 opening before against anand, karpov?
It killed Deep Junior X---it would kill these other GM too right?
wrong!!!! Kasparov wouldnt begin to play this low level opening in tournament
play. Kasparov only played this opening because when he saw this in the program
he had prior to game, he laughed.

Now what worries me, How many more of these losing opening lines are in Deep
Junior X book? If Kasparov has the energy and time to find these losing lines,
and if there are more of these opening lines that play into losing positions,
then it is possible that DJX could lose all the games.
