I do not agree that the opening position is a very closed position
very closed position is position with blocked pawn and there are no blocked
pawns in the opening position.

I agree that there are also no open files but computers can find positions with
open files by search.


I think that there are two reasons that computers need opening book:
1)to save time in the opening.
2)humans analyzed many years the opening and it is known that humans are better
at correspondence games relative to computers.
