Certainly, but the conclusion that no engine has been disadvantaged might be wrong. Bob simply doesn´t care a straw how Crafty plays unusual openings since they never happen on his machines. A typical example is 1.c4 g5 ?!(at least) 2.Nc3 and now Crafty played 2...Nf6? -+ IMHO. OTOH Chessmaster doesn´t seem to have any problems with unusual openings [Event "Super Tournament III Qualifier"] [Site "Howick"] [Date "2004.08.03"] [Round "1.11"] [White "Pharaon 2.62"] [Black "CM9000 Judge II"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "B00"] [PlyCount "68"] [EventDate "2004.??.??"] [Source "Banks"] 1. e4 h6 2. d4 a6 3.
