Subject: ...Bxh2, a book move?

Author: GuyHaworth

Due to a late-running dinner, I linked up with the chess.fm/ICGA broadcasts of
Game 5 just as 10...Bxh2+ was being played.

Shipov (worldchessrating) says that Junior played this quickly:  timings would
be interesting - doesn't sound like the regulation 3 minutes.

After 11.Kxh2, I noted chess.fm saying that DJ was now out of book.


Are these two pointers to the fact that 10...Bxh2+ was a book move?

If so, although one cannot assume that all moves left in book are ok for the
engine, I think the DJ team do a thorough job.  Is it therefore reasonably to
conclude that it had already been thoroughly analysed and found to be good for
DEEP JUNIOR?

Is it in any other opening books - part of opening theory - or is it a Boris
special TN?


Presumably, the jury is still out on 16.g3?  Are the lines being collected
together anywhere?  I'm getting the impression that White might have been up no
more than a pawn in computer-scoring terms but that it was v much a 'computer'
type of position afterwards.
