Crafty or Fritz 5 can take care of this problem. I have put 100 or so lines
starting with f3 into my Fritz 5 book, to make it hard for players to find a
good winning line in Fritz 5 if they try is anti-computer tactic. I am sure
Crafty can do the same thing if it wants to play. If Rebel 10 plays with Rebel
ECO im sure it would be rather risky to do this, as 1 f3 is not a good move, if
you play the first few moves after right. So I don't think it will be much of a
problem, if precautions are taken. And the player does not know what you have
put in the book.
