There is the danger that it could be mistaken as anti-movei bickering ( I know you didn't suggest it, and Uri knows it isn't). But it could be misleading to see several match results when movei might lose most of them. Movei is a reasonably strong middle-class amateur engine these days and it was just chosen as an example for this group of engines. I thought about sending results to Uri only, but I know some people enjoy looking at these games. Having a relatively weak opening book is a common problem for this group of engines. Btw, Uri's approach has its advantages too. In the last match against Genius it got one point for free when Genius's book had a long line that led to an immediate loss (not because the line was bad itself ,but because it was too complicated to find the moves once it was out of book), while Movei had no problems to find the moves to react. I agree the line with Qe7 isn't to be recommended with the short line movei has in its book, but for example in the games with white several of the unusual lines worked quite well for it. Peter
