Go up one level in this thread


Rather than a conspiracy, I suspect that there is still a small degree of
randomness in opening book lines.

Will Diep play the exact same line over and over again given the same sequence
of opponent moves?

I guess not.

Probably, it is something like this:

if (r=(rand()%32117) <= 22481) 1. e4
else if (r <= 29000) 1. d4
else if (r <= 30000) 1. Nf3
else  1. c4

Or something of that nature.

But if I were to write a chess database connected to a chess program, I would
most definitely do a lookup for the weakness of the opponent and open with that
(whatever it was).  If I did not have enough games for a statisically
significant answer, I would probably do something like the above.

Of course, I might throw in 1. b4 just for fun.
