Games 39 and 40 were afflicted by a poor opening line played by a top player, much in the same manner as in games 33 and 34.
Here is the game in question.

Again, this demonstrates why the best opening books for testing should use handpicked lines, that are checked as okay by the top engines.

Drozdovski a top player, are you kidding?

Your criteria should be that both colours should have been played by world champions and candidates, and not just one colour.

You might want to pick such games from an extended period of time, not only from the recent past, in this way your book will be much more interesting.

For example, it is known, that possibly the peak of high level chess competition was somewhere from 1950 to 1970, so why not get into the book a nice sample from that period, with both white and black being played by top players?

I believe his rating was very close to 2600. If you can't trust the majority of openings played between players rated 2550+ or 2600+, then there's an issue.
As I said, the best books should therefore have handpicked and checked lines.

Fron Wikipedia:

Yuri Drozdovskij (born 22 May 1984 in Odessa) is a Ukrainian chess Grandmaster.

He won the European Rapid Championship in 2006 and tied for first place at Cappelle-la-Grande in 2007. Drozdovskij was equal first (losing out on tie-break to Pavel Tregubov) at the 4th Pivdenny Bank Cup 2008, a rapid tournament held annually in Odessa.[1] This was an outstanding result, as he finished ahead of Boris Gelfand, Ruslan Ponomariov, Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi. In 2009 he was a member of the bronze medal-winning Ukrainian team at the European Team Chess Championship.[2]

His current Elo rating is 2614.

When he played that game, he was 2500-something, but that is not important.

There is a gap between 2750+ elo players and the rest. The very top would be 2750+. But even this is nothing significant compared to the games played between 1950-1970. Just think of it: in that period at least 7 or 8 world champions were active and competing against each other - Botvinnik, Smyslov, Petrosian, Tal, Fischer, Spassky, when you add to that the names of Korchnoi, Keres, Bronstein, Gligoric, Portish, etc., it is obvious that games in that period were significantly higher quality than games between the top players nowadays.

If you compare this period with the last 30 years, in the last 30 years you have just 3 world champions active - Kasparov, Karpov and Carlsen - and they did not compete against each other apart from Kasparov-Karpov.

I do not quite consider Anand and Kramnik world champions, if you wonder, they surely are not, they just took advantage of the situation; certainly, Morphy is worthier than them to be called world champion.

Lyudmil Tsvetkov I m starting to be your fan. Take care of it.

[jdart]

Game 37 opening is dodgy too IMO. Black should play 11. .. Be7 as in Alekseev-Ivanchuk, Nalchik 2009.

GAME 41 - a rather messy Caro-Kann in which Stockfish eventually gains an advantage. Komodo gives up the exchange to break up the bishop pair and is holding the game. Stockfish eventually returns the exchange to be a pawn up in the endgame, but neither side sees more than a draw.

1/2-1/2[/pgn]

[Graham Banks]

GAME 42 - Stockfish eyes up acreage on the queenside and creates a passed a-pawn. Komodo is then happy to give up its queen for two rooks. Two crucial things happen due to this - the passed a-pawn is gobbled up, and Komodo must give up the exchange to eliminate threats emanating from the Stockfish queen and knight duo. However, the resulting ending is drawn. Stockfish leads the match 6-5.

[Graham Banks]

GAME 44 - there is a little more interest in this game, as Stockfish tries a few tricks to try and gain an edge. Despite this, another drawish endgame arises, and again neither side sees anything but a draw. Stockfish still 6-5 up as we close in on the end of the match.
