Just because the master has access to opening theory, he/she still have a long way to go before defeating the chess engine in a 40/120 min game. A master will still have great difficult defeating the chess engine. You are assuming that a chessmaster is handicapped because he has no access to opening books, while a chess engine has access to an opening book which is built into its program. Well let me ask you this, have you ever met a chess master or a GM who has not memorized an entire opening repertoire? Really, humans have long term memory, and all professional chessmasters know their favorite opening inside out, forward and backward, and just because a chess engine has a book opening, how can you say that is different. My money would still be on the chess engine if you pit a chessmaster under 2400 ELO rating in tournament time control and I can guarantee that the chessmaster will still loose because he will certainly waste a lot of time browsing his opening book. :) Laurence
