Yeah, this cxd was an experiment made up otb. I know that Emanuel wants to
play his own open game, and doesn't care two cents about finding some
anti-computer move or idea. In this particular game he just didn't feel
like closing up the whole Q-side.
Game 2 was also interesting where Emanuel as white for the first time
in his career had to face the Petroff... He always plays 1.e4, but so
far noone has ever played this vs him... I'll be back later
