If a GM decides to play the Spanish variation, he simply remembers the moves "e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5" etc. So does the computer. You seem to say that with humans there are two phases: 1. read moves from books 2. recall them from their memory. Whereas computers only have one phase, and you match it with phase 1 from humans. While I think it's useless to make such comparisons in general, it's pretty easy to come up with two phases for computers too. Craftys 1st phase is: reading PGN files. 2nd phase during the game is: recall them from its memory. Sargon
