In this tournament the book(s) played a dominant role much more than in
the other world championships of the last years. The Belgrade gambit for
Tiger with 6.Bc4 was refuted by the Nf6 novelty. Based on that for Rebel
6.Qe2 was tried against Shredder and with success.

In general I was pleased with the Rebel book choices except against Fritz
and SOS. Against Fritz Rebel with white had no advantage as it should be
playing with white. In the SOS game Rebel was faced with a position it did
not understand. My opening choice against Junior playing the sicilian was
a bad one as I should have known better but after the 2 good victories in
the first 2 rounds I got a bit overconfident.

All in all it was not so bad neither was it optimal. My experience with
these tournaments is that you can prepare what you want but only in
exceptional cases (10%) you get on the board what you had in mind.
