The foreword is signed by Garri Kasparov himself. What I can say is that Dr Pecci has found a limitation in these progs, that he uses and re-uses successfully, like the attacks against progs made by Eduard Nemeth, and it works almost all the times ! The "Doctor" seems to be a true one, and all the games can be followed move after move ( no need of chessboard !). Interesting, for sure ! The same principles to beat the machine are applied in different openings, and there are some games with human playing black. Best regards
