Hello Ricardo!
You are right: engines are quite able to find innovations in opening
( I mean valuable ones )
I have some instances of it , the most striking being this one:
junior7/goliath :
1 e4 e5 2 f4 exf4 3 Nf3 d6 4 d4 g5 5 h4 g4 ,and now in place of book move
6 Ng1 , it "invented" a"new" gambit 6 Bxf4!? gxf3 7 Qxf3 and won with brillancy
I put quotes , since it was not really brandnew since it has 3 entries in
CB database onlie , with only 1 white win , due to Karacsony Attila : hence , I
named it Attila gambit ; this one seems to be quite sound , and compare
favourably with Muzio gambit to which it is akin
there are still other instances of these novelties
one point is to notice: all these novelties are the fact of junior7 tha seems to
be the most tactically strong engine of all times
I take the oppotunity to say that it is A CRIME to have removed junior7 from
sale , instead of presenting an improved version as was done for fritz or
shredder (for junior8 is not an improved version of junior7 , but something
quite different and tactically less strong )
Please Mr Ban , give us an improved version of junior7!!!
Friendly Yours
