I don't know if this was a contribution by crafty, but i suppose that when after 3...a6 a chess program is out of book it has a good chance to follow up with 4. Bc4 if it loves the bishop pair more than structural weaknesses of the pawn structure. In fact the same position with colors reversed arises after 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. a3 Bc5 which is well know theory. So 4. Bc4 just transposes. Greetings Alex
