I disagree! I counted on the English and John counted on 6 ... Qd7. He wanted a
clear line without queen's, but was surprised by the pawn sac 6 ... Bd7!?

Normally when John plays the English agaist a computer he can make moves like
c4, g3, Nc3, e3, Nge2, 0-0, a3, Rb1, b4 and so on. With 2 ... Nf6 and 3 ... d5!
I prevented this. After that Black is active and after 6 ... Bd7!? there was no
way back.

The opening worked, John had to defend, Rebel was pushing and was very active,
Ed rightly refused a draw offer and after some final mistakes the machine won.
Deservedly so!
