I think it is interesting, had not read the link yet. The reincarnation of Tigran Petrosyan!

About normal chess, maybe somebody should start a poll;

A) Vasik Rajlich thinks that any rating for chess programs starting with a 3 is not the end. Is it true?
B) Against a really good opening book if it is used in determining a rating, it should be almost impossible to win. So, Fritz 5.32 with a super opening book can't be beaten anymore by Rybka 3 say in the SSDF rating list. Does Rybka still get a rating starting with a four? Rybka will still be stronger than Fritz 5.32 because Fritz 5.32 with super openings does not win as often against weaker opponents. But it never loses either. Rybka X - Fritz 5.32: 50%-50% every time. Does this limit Rybka's rating? (Personally I do not know, I'm just speculating here, but in a near perfect rating system I suspect it should not be true)
C) It is not important because by the time the opening book is finished everybody will be playing Chess 960 only.

According to your statement a good opening book constribute to a great percent of a program's rating in normal chess. Therefore, Chess960 is the best way to determine the real strength of chess programs where the influence of the openings has not been analyzed yet.

PS: This is as long as both programs play each side White and Black with the same Chess960 opening, since there seems to be an advantage for the White side of most FRC openings.

A)no
B)What is the size of the book that is allowed?
It is obvious that Fritz5.32 with a book that is big enough is unbeatable
because a book that is big enough may include a move in every possible chess position
but I think that a book of 10^12 positions is not enough to make it unbeatable and I do not expect hardware that allow bigger books in the near future.
