It might win games, but it is not good chess. That might make it seem practical, but not when 6.d4 is available. >of the CB native engines , only shredder7 , junior7 ,and junior8 pass the >test (they play Na5 , Nd4 or b5 that are the "regular" answers ),and that a >"modern" engine as Hiarcs9 behaves like the obsolete ones >if these engines (out of book!) behave like this , what confidence can one have >in analyses by such engines ? >Friendly Yours >Claude Le Page
