This is NOT a low level opening. This is a very modern and _dynamic_ opening that offers a lot of fight and sharp play. Kasparov played other dynamic openings against Karpov and Anand, he is changing permanently. In fact, this opening is very suitable to Kasparov's style, as opposed to the crap he played against DB. >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. Kasparov is the best opening player of all time by orders of magnitude. He has trounced other GMs is similar fashion quickly, I do not see why he would not do the same against a computer opening book based on games of those same GMs! My hypothesis is that if Kasparov comes back to his style, playing sharp in the opening with novelties, he is capable of destroying the machine easily. Depth is irrelevant, because the machine would never reach the depth that Kasparov reached in his home analysis. He did not do that against DB and waived the strongest part of his play: The opening. DB team knew that and played 2.c3 against the sicilian. Miguel >kburcham
