Kasparov rules with 1.e4, for sure the stupid mainlines he plays against
deep junior are a disgrace from kasparov side.

I remember great games kasparov-kramnik 1.e4
i remember great games kasparov-shirov 1.e4

Kasparov proving point after point with 1.e4

I remember important 6.Be3 systems with white against najdorf which kasparov
popularized.

How about najdorf?

I remember novelty after novelty from kasparov.

Hell i even remember from the 80s some great Ng5 novelty from kasparov.

Kasparov is brilliant in 1.e4

He sucks ass after 1.d4, both black and white.

I wonder why so little people are complaining about the bad openingschoices
of kasparov.

Several teammembers of mine says: "logical, he wants to not reveal his great
openings preparements against a stupid computer".

I am missing why this is 'logical' except if kasparov either takes junior not
serious or wants junior to score more points than it should score.

the word 'anti-computer' is not relevant. he is giving computer a kingsattack
where junior became world champion already 2 times in a row by just attacking
the king of the opponent computers, even in lost positions it did that and i
remember several times where it succeeded in doing that.

Best regards,
Vincent
