Are you using your own book? or one that comes with shredder 8 >2. are you using default settings? Hi Derek, It always depends. When playing Kiriakov I intentionally did not exclude any part of the huge book being extremely wide. I wanted to see how far I can go to have computers to play all kind of openings after having made not too bad experience with my 2 last games against Sergey with Deep Fritz 8. My experiment showed a clear result. DS8 was left with a closed position which it did not understand. Fair enough. Now I know better. Some of course will say that there was no need to check this as it was known already. But everybody has the right to test it out at his own cost. In my last game I played with DS8 with the preference for open lines as I matched a strong GM and used a corrected appropriate Shredder 8 book which was successfully used and updated by quite a number of games (booklearning). I have to point out, that, even if it is not always the stronges setting, I reserve the right test out some ideas. The results show after whether it was a good idea or not. Of course I am not going to announce in advance provided I will use a large book which allows Kings Indian aso. The GM's should play as always and not focus on such elements. My last game against GM Sergey Volkov was with the stronges settings I personally know. Sergey managed to leave the opening with an advantage. In the middle game the advantage was lost and with his advancing the b4 pawn (approx. move 34?) he threw the game away. Tactics decided the game. He had chosen a clever opening line which was however not a desaster for the computer as the positions were not closed at all but strategical. The game is noted as reply to your first message. I hope having given the info you expected. Kind regards Martin
