Hi Peter,
(I sent this to you as a letter, but I was told yours is not a valid e-mail address!?)
Terra's first two games in SzG Swiss began like this:
(A) 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d5
(B) 1. e4 d6 2. g3 g6 3. Bg2 Bg7 4. Ne2 c5 5. O-O Nc6 6. c3
I didn't modify the opening book stuff in the ini file you sent me, so the
relevant part looks like:
[Book]
Book=1
PostBook=1
BookLearn=1
PostLearn=1
RandomType=2
TerraLimit=32
MinTerraGames=3
BookLimit=20
MinBookGames=3
BookFile=main2.book
PostFile=postbooka.dat
Is this normal? In case (A) Terra could not recover from the opening
disadvantage.
Gábor

Hi Gábor,
You probably missed that I've changed domain in my email address. Try fendrich.se instead of fendrich.net (with peter@...)
(A) Terra is black. The Elephant Gambit is not generally considered a good gambit and even worse in the way Terra handled it.
(B) Terra is white? I'm not sure what's wrong here. I think that the white line is playable but it isn't very "computerish" though. I even liked the maneuver Na3-Nc2 that follwed later on. Maybe I'm wrong. Please enlighten me in that case!
I generally try to have a wide book where the more suspect variants are played very seldom but I think I should block the Elephant. OTOH I kind of like elephants.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the answer. Yes, in (A) Terra was black, in (B), white. But no enlightening; your rating must be about 250 more than mine anyway.
