I think they play piece gambits (like the Cochrane gambit 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nxf7 Kxf7), where active pawn play is essential even worse than closed positions. Most engines have trouble taking advantage of the imbalances created by gambits, especially dynamic imbalances. I've put engines in start positions listed by NCO as advantage for white on a fairly long time control, and white cannot see how to realize the advantage. It cannot overcome the material deficit if it doesn't understand the purpose (i.e. the compensation it receives) of the gambit. Regards, Matt
