Put this address in your favourites list as it is updated ALL THE TIME, as i use the book everyday against humans, and i'm not talking about run_of_the_mill humans, I mean professional FIDE members. Secondly, no the book isn't designed to be played vs itself, it has specific lines that I have pain stakingly analyzed and crossed refereced with other results that I have seen with books and engines, and especially engine characteristics and flaws. The purpose of the book NOT to be set to optimized is specifically because humans all play differently, if you had a human play a game on Monday, he'd play it differently on Tuesday, just because his brain was working less or more, or if he had a fight with his wife, etc etc. So basically, to make a long story short, i have selected, specific proven lines that work. There isn't a lot of 'variety' for any of the lines, so the book is going to just keep learing that it can win, or it can lose on a certain line vs another engine, it doesn't have another line to fallback on, because the variety on each line does not exist, or is very small. Saying that, engines will fight another engine much more succesfully in these positions, and even if I might say, will fight against a human much more successfully. The sacrifices on f7, with the knight from F3, and the bishop might seem silly, but you would be shocked on how much a person will 'panic' or over compensate his king safety and get blown off the board. I recommend to you that you stop this test, and concentrate on developing specific engine settings that will fully compliment this book. So to close, it is impossible to compare the results of engine vs engine and human vs engine, as we've seen countless times across the spectrum of chess. I hope this answers some of your questions, (a reminder, you cannot use anti human book vs anit human book) -Derek Paquette p.s. make sure you check the site often, current version 1.9.6
