Certainly any player who has been world champion has many choices along these lines. I can imagine Morphy or Tal or Fischer or Kasparov playing that move because I have seen them play so many like it. I think it is a huge advantage for the program that plays it. It will roughly double your time advantage, since the opponent will have been pondering wrong. I think against humans it has a good shock value also. Those few moves where you look at it and say "What in the world can that be?" and have to look at it for 15 minutes to understand what is going on -- to me that is the essense of good chess. If I can guess the right move over and over again, I know the chess is not terrific, because [cough] I understand it. ;-)
