Hello Harry,

We can't rely too much on Opening from Grandmasters, even if they had drawn the
game, unless we let computers program go 6 moves beyong where the GMs thoug that
it was an even game. Let me remind you a good game where both programs had the
same Opening and the Opening experts thought that it was even up to the very
end. In a game between Shredder versus Hydra both programs followed the opening
of two GMs up to the point where according to the two GMs it was even, in the
real game between the two GMs the game ended in a draw, simply because one of
the GM didn't see a force mate in three; but at the end of the 28 Opening moves
Hydra resigned to shredder because it saw MATE against itself in three moves.
