Having not much knowledge of the Dragon I would
never allow a mainline but play a quiet and less
common continuation in the hope that both players
will soon be out of book. I think that most sound
openings are playable by the experts. And as to
playchess.com your remarks confirm my "fears:" tested
is seldom the strength of an engine but the hardware
and goodness of opening preparation. Those who have
fun with this may be happy and hopefully also learn
something -:)
