Hi Sandro, over the last few years do you think that the improved program
performance we have seen has allowed the programs to play a greater range of
openings successfully? I'm specifically thinking of the King's Gambit, which
programs have typically had trouble with, but I'm sure there are many other
examples. Would you be confidant to have Shredder 9 play the KG in a tournament
or SSDF game? What sound openings would you definitley have S9 (or 8) avoid?

Thanks,

Andrew
