This quote dates from last moves at chessgames.com by Chrilly Donninger the programmer of Hydra about why they have Hydra book at 20ply. I posted this a few weeks back ;) "Opening preperation is certainly a critical point. We use a very short opening book. Maximum 10 moves, sound main variations. Then we leave Hydra from the lash. I think it is difficult to find within the first 10 moves in main-variations killing-novelties. It is possible to find something afterwards. But Hydra is difficult to predict and it has already refuted some lines. Testing the novelty with Fritz is no real guaranntee. If the GM deviates quite early from theory, he has less time per move and has to do much more calculations." Dom
