I did a search of the position in the Rebel and in my ChessBase database and
found no game to match. So I opened the EOC Consult window and it showed there
was one game, a draw. My best guess would be that the player of the white pieces
was short in time and believing this move to be some kind of trap, freaked out
and offered to split the point. Any way, I thought the EOC was supposed to help
Rebel10 *not* to get in to this kind of position.
