The GMs doing DB's opening tuning had that position up and running on DB --
briefly -- as they were booking it up.  It could be that they saw it would play
Nxe6 out of the extended book, saw that it liked its position as White there,
and left it alone.  Whether it was in the small book or the extended book, the
important thing is that DB was comfortable playing Nxe6 on its own, and they let
it do so.
