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...).
