Hi,

. . . let me point out that the review doesn´t mean predict what your specific opponent would do.

Exactly. Even when studying a book of mid game positions, with no information about the specific game or the players, one still has to consider what the opponent can do and try to predict what an opponent would do. However, in actual play, it is nice to know more about your opponent. Is he a cautious type that will not take advantage of a risky opportunity? Will he go for the gambit? Does he play the knights better than the bishops (or conversely)? Is he under time pressure, and is he the type that folds under that pressure?

Not all the information about a chess game is contained in the record of moves. At least, not for humans.
