Ten minute games are interesting, but not >significant. Again: IMO. > > Albert Silver Don't misunderstand me.. it's a wonderfull defence.. with a complex strategy behind it.. what i just meant to say is that I doubt a program would be able to handle it. On top of that junior actually played 1.e2-e4 g8-g6, e4-e5 g6-g8 loosing one tempo... it's not even an Alechine defence.. I was trying out 10 minute games.. as unsignificant as they may be, but still I wasn't interested in 40 minute games. So.. in conclusion 1.e2-e4 Ng8-g6, e4-e5 Ng6-g8 seems horrible to me.. as patzer as I might be... (in fact it lost those games).
