Will is right they have no understanding at all, of how a PC program uses it's book, when it's in book, or even if it can get back into book. They should at least take the time IMO to find things like that out especially after the earlier Deep Fritz match when the same types of comments were made. It also maybe wouldn't hurt them to have a PC program open during the broadcast, rather than lets look what my program says in analysis mode then quote a 10 ply or 10 second search?. Sarah.
