The programs don't play lines from their own opening books which include adjusted lines, opening lines the program "understands", plays well. IMO the method with a unique opening book is useful to find out which program plays which openings best. It might not lead to new insights. See: Prog A plays King's Indian vs. prog B. 10 different lines. Prog A wins by 8.0-2.0. So prog A is stronger, right? Especially when prog A plays some more King's Indian lines vesus other progs who also fail to defend. Nonsense I say, when the other progs never play King's Indian from their own book. So what you learn is that progs B, C etc. don't play the King's Indian well with black. What is nothing new, because the King's Indian is already disabled in their own books. Cool test. >People who use programs for analysis may prefer these tests and not tests with >the original book.
