Sorry, I do not agree. Zappa opening book is very good ok, but it came out of the opening equal chances for both sides in most of the games it played. e.g. against Shredder, after the opening Shredder was not in a bad position but Zappa played better and won ! And we could say the same of Zappa vs Junior, the position was very tactical after opening but was not clearly an advantage for Zappa. Again it played better and won. By the way, I have experienced a few games on playhess.com against Zappa. I have a dualcore AMD 64 4600+ using DS9, and Zappa had a positive result on a single CPU against my machine. And no it was not the opening that made the difference, I have my own special one ! :-) Zappa was just stronger. Now I hope that VD and Antony well read this post, because I also wont them to know that I am hilly wonting an UCI engine to be able to use it under Fritz GUI. No polemic, thanks ! best regards
