If a human is playing white, and just moves d1d2, and d2d1, can this position be
broken open?

Do any engines detect this behaviour and play differently?

There is a player on ICC that is pretty good at doing this to my engine, and I
am trying to stop him with coding.

I play with white it with crafty 19.3, with d1d2, d2d1, and this is the
continuation:

[FEN "4r1k1/1b3pbp/r1p2np1/1p1p1q2/pP1Pp3/P1P1P1PP/1B1Q1PK1/3RRNN1 b - - 0 1"]
