I have been wondering how anti-gm works and how it improved Rebel's play during the match. I would think that giving up advantages to enter into positions the computer is good at wouldn't give much of an improvement. However, with a program like Rebel, this would give, say, open positions a higher priority. So they would be searched far deeper. Rebel gets more out of deeply searching open positions than closed. So it may find good moves in the open position and may be able to see problems to help it to decide whether opening up the position is really the best choice instead of blindly doing it. But I think the main reason Anand lost was that he did not know how to take advantage of Rebel's weaknesses.
