I see but I can't believe that there is really NONE able to prepare Rebels opening except Jeroen. >Someone on the >board suggested that opening preparation for the computer world championship >was easier, It was me. :-) >but I would wholeheartedly disagree for the history of past computer >world championships absolutely does not support this opinion. > Albert Silver I am not so sure. Maybe you are right. Thinking about it it MAY be easier to prepare for the GMs because they have limited opening repertoire. But I am really not sure because also the GMs prepare and may choose some lines they didn't play before. Really twisting. Ed can earn honour in both events, GMs are always nice to show their skalp while a WCH title for Ed is some years ago, almost like his last time participating at such. But stressing for one event and sending some unprepared patzer to the other can cost a bit...
