There is a big problem with this match: You did not use the Chessmaster opening
book for CM .This is like separating the head from body.Opening books are indeed
part of the program.Also I should note that (and I have said this many
times) that comp vs comp matches prove nothing about how a program will do
against humans:That is Program A may be stronger than program B by 100 Elo in
Comp vs Comp ;but Program B may be stronger by 100 Elo than program A when
playing only humans.Both Fritz and Junior were disasters in the matches against
Kasparov and Kramnik. In any case I do not see the points in these
Comp Matches(We need more human vs Comp) as SSDF is doing a great job pitting
programs against each other.
