the point is not that you have a good start in ONE game and that you are
proud than, the point is IMO that rebel and rebel-tigel, although very
good programs, have had many games (in championship events) where they
came weak out of the opening.

I wonder why not playing 1.Nf3 ... 2. h3 and bring both programs
out of book, or whatever strange opening, instead of doing
an opening poker where the opponent maybe is better om preparing.

if i have the chance to control the situation, i better do not give away
this chance.

you can - with black AND with white - play something rare or strange,
that is NOT human-opening-theory and that is still "good" = balanced
position. IF you have the better program, why allow the opponent
to bring it in a weaker position.

The question is in which hand is the control. when i can throw the opponent
out of book with an opening, i can in beforehand try out in the hotel room
how MY program plays from this opening against the commercial version of
the opponents program. thats IMO much better than coming into nirwana.

I am disapointed jeroen that rebel/Rebel-tiger come so shit out of opening,
in paderborn and now. and i think you are in charge. therefore i critisize
you. no big thing, just that i thought that sometimes less
(smaller line throwing the opponent out) is more (instead of doing
deep lines...).
