I do not want to contradict your statements, but only show you one example which
show how little is the depth reached by computers to find good novelties. I did
not chose a special one, but the first one I saw on the new Chess Informant.

After nearly 30 years of testing on computer programs and having checked with
them probably some several thousands of games (200.000 - 300.000; I did not
count them) I am 80% sceptical.

I mean that they can find some novelties in some specific positions, but most of
the time they are not good for the reasons I told you.

If you don't want to believe me it is up to you.

I am not interested to teach things to people, but possibly only tell them my
findings.

Ciao
Sandro
