Brilliant analysis yours, T. I have though on it many times. Deep lines in opening are double edged swords. The deepest, the worst IF the opponent know about your "deep" line. Programs should do as Lasker did, remember?, he did not pay so much attention to opening, it seems he barely knew about them or at least a lot less than his colleagues. There is a book written by him about that philosophy. He said: I must try to do common sense moves in this stage and should be enough not to be overwheelmed there, at most you can get a somewhat inferior position, but then middle game comes and you have a lot things to do to reverse things. Computers have enough power to do the same. Better to begin analysis at move 4 or 5 in a simple, safe line, winning or not by yourself than to go trought a long, erudite line and be smashed as an idiot. I apply to myself that philosophy as much I am not prepared to expend half my life learning lines that probably are obsolete the next day they were pubished. For computer it is worst because they not even can think than that can happens. Like parrots, they follow the track and get killed even by an inferior player -human of iron- provided he did he home task. Fernando
