This is not such a problem, as Rebel uses EOC and I think it got a decent position after the opening. The real problem in this game was, to evaluate the pin on Knight a2. White had a good position, but failed to do something at its biggest problem: To activate the rook on a1 and the knight on a2. This hasn't got to do with 'being out of book by move 3'. As I explained earlier, it is impossible to cover all lines like this. If a program fails to take advantage of a move like 3 ... a6?! this is because it has not enough knowledge how to punish this. People often blame the opening book, but I think it has to do with pure chess knowledge. Chess programs are not able yet to punish anti computer strategies. Next time when I prepare 3 ... a6, John will play 3 ... b6, or 3... h6, or 3 ... e6 and even when I have those moves in book, he will be able to throw Rebel out of book one move later.
