Subject: Transition from Opening to Middle Game

Author: Howard Exner

In chess a major challenge is the transition
between opening and early middle game. Different openings call for different
approaches once out of book. Will future chess programs consider having modified
versions of the main engine take over the next 5 - 10 moves out of book
based on what opening is played (for both white and black pieces)?

Some configurations may play better in Ruy Lopez openings while others perform
better at Sicilians. Some early middlegames need more king safety
while other positions should concentrate on solid, non aggressive play.

Humans put on these different hats depending
on what opening is played. Any future for this in computer programs?
