That would be the first assumption, even my one, except that the turnaround is rapid and the initial bad spell only lasts 10 games or fewer. Book-learning and avoidance can't make such a rapid difference without super-AI. Chess op.theory is far too wide, even with restricted tournament books and without c960! I think it must be just coincidental, humans have a weakness for finding non-existing patterns and conspiracies. :) But it repeated itself again just now in front of me (Fruit v S9). Effect is much less at slow games, sometimes there is no turnaround there and Fruit leads from the beginning. But it seems Fruit's advantage is highest at slower tc games when played on good home PCs of today. Best, A.S.
