Hey that sounds interesting! Do you have link to somewhere i could download this and give it a try? 🙂
Its great because it remembers all your different variations, so if on move 20 you explore one move, then a different move 20, it remembers both lines for you.

The sooner you get them out of book, the more complex the middle-game options are and thus the harder a time the computer has.
Originally posted by marinakatombHumans are better than computers at coping with unfamiliar opening positions, generally speaking, because our heuristics are more flexible. The main disadvantage is that less common opening moves are most likely inferior to a greater or lesser degree, so there's a trade-off and you need to pick them carefully. But certainly, it's a good idea to book up on particular opening variations that one plans to try against a chess computer.
