why is the king chosing a line, where it is out of book itself meanwhile the
opponent is still in the opening book  ?

If you would be the operator, or the programmer, wouldn't you try out
(if you choose to play 1.Nc3)
how the commercial version of your opponnent PLAYS when you play 1.Nc3 ?
this would be the first thing i would try on the hotel room.

And - surprise surprise: rebel is still in book and would play...

yes. O-O was expected.

but surprise surprise, Nb5 comes. which forces the next moves.

>8.Nb5 a6 9.Nc7 Ra7 10.Nxd5 Nxd5 11.Qxd5 Bxb2

this is a really nice situation. black has no  chance to do anything.
it can only RE-ACT.

thats exactly how i would like to see it happen as white.



12.O-O!?

>Surprise, surprise!

good programs see O-O.

yes.

2.Nf6 is in rebel12 commercial-book.
it's very easy to find out.
buy it.
input Nc3 and look how commercial rebel would have played !
not much intelligence needed to find out.

if you would play against a program 1.Nc3, wouldn't you try it out
before you play a game in a tournament what this program plays IF you do ??
