Subject: Prep against a crafty Crafty move

Author: Howard Exner

About a year ago someone posted a nice win of Crafty
against Genius 3 or 4 with the following opening moves:

1. e4   e5  2. Nf3   Nc6  3. Bb5   a6  4. Bc4

None of my programs, MCPro 3.5, CM 4000 or Rebel 8
have an opening book response to this. Just curious
how many programs have a book move response to this?

My wild guess is very few programs released prior to
one year ago have a book response and that newly released programs
do. If I were a programmer I would include some book lines
for this unusual, yet quite sound move.

How many programmers would admit honestly that they included
book lines as a result of seeing Crafty play this move?
