Unless computers are guided through the opening by strong humans, they have little to contribute. Computers still rely upon databases of human games to play well through the early moves.

The chances of anyone's game following engine vs. engine moves in a database is HIGHLY unlikely.  Someone will have to deviate to alter the final result, and then you're on your own.

 It seems several pages are missing. Perhaps some of the posters used the engines they were complaining about.

The guy must be happy you answered him a mere 12 years later.

I doubt it. He hasn’t been here in 11 years. This thread popped up in an old article that popped up.
