Sometimes it makes sense to deviate from a master plan. Also, I sincerely doubt it's possible to state for a fact that one opening move is better than another. Adaptation to variants is the key. The reason for chosing 1.d4 is probably little, but positive tournament experience against tough opponents. Therefore it makes sense to explore other options when you have the chance, ie. not too strong opposition and a not too important tournament. Just to make it clear. I'm not suggesting foul play against Deep Sjeng by Noomen. However, I do find the approach suboptimal from a book author perspective. Regards, Mogens
