<snipped all context> Perhaps the simplest way to explain why this might be is to give another example. After 1. e4, does Fritz consider 1. ...c5? I'd wager that it most likely doesn't, even though it is surely one of the highest in the database. The reason for this is that 1. ...c5 doesn't give any sort of tangible, short-term, gain - it instead tries to obtain some sort of long-term strategy. Computers don't really do any sort of long-term strategy, which is why they aren't very good in the opening without a book. Your move 4. c3 is probably similar. Jeremiah
