Hi Uri,

Because they cannot see deeply enough.
In middle game it would be different. Also theory has developed making many
games and thanks to correspondance chess also in many variations?

Ok, I would agree on this when the strenght of the programs would be at least
500 points higher than they are today.

Well, normally a novelty is worth if a set of correct following moves is
considered as well. If some are not good, than it would not work...or not?
