statistics and busts - 2007/01/04 13:32
Steve gets in trouble for not checking where the game statistics were leading and he notes:
"Nothing can do the work for you here -- you have to do it yourself. Even the "Book analysis window", which shows the critical lines of play, don't foresee 8.f4 as part of the options it presents; it's been played just too few times for the automatic functions of the program to pick up. So you have to look ahead and do your own evaluation."
I disagree that "nothing can do the work for you." Bookup's "backsolving" process does look ahead and solves backwards so Steve will see that 8.f4, although not played often enough to affect game statistics, is going to be a problem.

This problem is at the crux of combing a game database like ChessBase with a positional database like Bookup. Take a look at both articles and let me know if they don't inspire some critical thinking in your upcoming games.
