I disagree with the inclusion of Dr. Hyatt.  I agree with Bob's analysis that
GMs should know better than to play openings that lead easily to open positions
against machines, even if the GM is best at open positions, because a computer
will always be better at open positions than any human.  This would include the
comment that deliberately playing double king pawn openings against machines of
this power is basically stupidity.  "Blunder" is a little generous as it assumes
an oversight rather than outright foolishness.
