Subject: Openings B80 and B85 ALWAYS played in computer games...they re the "key"

Author: Fletcher

Since 2002 I collect computer games played by the 7 best commercial engines in
20 minutes or more. For now, I have got a databse with more that 26 000 games.
When I check this base, I notice that the B80 and B85 openings (scheveninge
system) appear a great number of times: more than 1000 times. Statistically,
it's simply huge.

How can we explain this tendency? It seems that it s very easy for white and for
black to force the opponent to play this line... Do I mistake?

Secondly, does that mean  that this line could be a key in engines matches. I
wonder if a book especially prepared for this opening couldn't make the
difference in tournaments.

Thx for your comments and answers...
