Well, the review did make it sound weird. But, one never knows. What if some
day, when computers have at least part of the tablebase for the initial
position, or can otherwise practically solve the game with some other algorithm
not thought up yet, and it turns out that the 1.e4 is sub-optimal (or maybe even
a losing move). How many decades or centuries did "experts" laugh at Copernicus
or Gallileo.
