Chessmaster is full of surprises, I like this program because it takes an often innovative approach to the openings. I'm going to use some of it's ideas in my chess games with humans, take for instance it's theoretical novelty against a fide master on icc. Although it actually lost the game, due to a tactical inaccuracy. Fritz5.32 was able to significantly improve on it's play. I think the line has alot of credibility, why no human master has tried this is amazing. The line is out of the Benko Gambit the crucial move is 6.E4!!!!! I guess it is not completely a theorical novelty I was able to find a game in my million game database between Kasparov's gambit and patrick wolf played in 1993 harvard cup where the move 6. E4 was used , however kasparov's gambit lost with poor play. Would anyone here be bold enough to try CM's Innovation? It's strange that Chessmaster missed 17..Bf4. It's play was commendable to this point. Fritz5.32 finds a improvement to 17. Bc4?? I forget what it was, but the score was a positive.
