As I have said many times in rgcc, I believe that if Rebel 10 would have had the
move 11.d5 move in it's book, then Rebel would have won the slow time control
games. Yes, it is time that Micros stop playing blitz games against the GM's as
they have proved their superiority. Only 40/2 games mean anything. Jeroen Noomen
must take respopnsibilty for not having 11.d5 in Rebel 10's book. It is in the
book of CSTAL and the move has been played 3 times by strong players and white
won all 3 games. If Schroder and company had had Knut Neven's Gigantic base with
no duplicates and 50% of all games with the ELO ratings in the header, it would
have clearly shown the three 11.d5 games in that line. Rebel 10 would not have
lost that game if it had that move in it's book, and quite probably would have
won. The real mystery is why Anand played such a weak line as Black. He is known
to be bullet proof in the openings. ( well almosr bullet proof). See below for
some analysis and the 3 games.
