That based on my own >many years of booking up for ACM events... Maybe, but consider this: a) Most chess engines are good enough tactically that even when out of book they wont fall for tactical traps unless they are _really_ deep. b) They are still stupid enough that they will easily play into an opening that is strategically lost for one side. Now, strategical trap or tactical trap, the result is the same. Well, good luck with 1. d4 :) -- GCP
