What is so special on Bg7? Programs who evaluate the position black having
a (small) advantage will take a long time finding Bg7, programs who evaluate
the position as negative for black will find Bg7 quickly. Again I would like
to know why Bg7 is so much better than Re1. After 14 plies Rebel also picks
Bg7 but the score difference with Re1 is only 0.06.
