Why should Anand play moves that are not optimal in his opinion?
Quite dangerous IMO.

I think you should re-read the goals of anti-GM, the why's, its birth.

In the past at AEGON I have seen Rebel losing against grandmasters
without any chance. After such a game it is very frustrating to realize
your program didn't have just ONE little chance on counter play.

anti-GM is about to deal with this problem. I don't know how good it is
as 8 games is not much but in most of the 8 games it was Rebel who
took the initiative which pleased me very much as this exactly is one
of the goals of anti-GM.
