Charles, yes, but Zillions can easily be tweaked to play better in the openings. All my zrf:s have been tweaked. Why don't you try one, for example 'Chess with extended castle'. This is very close to Fide-chess. You will find that it plays openings much better. There are two opening play personalities to choose from. Please allow it some thinking time and you will find that it takes responsibility of the centre situation.
