>>Sergei, why plays not YOUR band new SmarThink 1.00?

Well, we play with SmarThink a lot of games :) Not a problem, you're interested
in it?

As I had written in comments in that post: SmarThink is also really dumb in this
position. You wanted to hear it? :)

I think your evaluation is not right. The main idea in this opening it to play
g6 before f6 and take control on d5 square keeping bishop. a5 looks too early
from my point of view of cource. I'll ask Nickolai and GM's Kalugin and Lunev
also if you want ;)

If you have read my comments for that post, than you know that this well-known
variation was artificially selected by us.
