A Middlegame Lesson

When a ELO 2500 rated chess grandmaster sits down to prepare a sharp Sicilian Dragon variation for an upcoming chess game, a brilliant chess engine is a must have to help the grandmaster play more accurately in the middlegame or endgame. Overlooking just one idea in such sharp variations is a lethal mistake that can be picked up by the opponent, who is also sitting at home with a cup of coffee and a blazing engine. But, if you are not preparing a novelty in a sharp opening variation, or if you are not making your living as a chess player, perhaps the best thing for you is to actually trash your chess engine that can improve your middlegame skills continuously.
