It is possible that the King was out of book at move 2 in order to try to hide the opening preperation. They could put the moves in the book to save time on the clock but in that case more opponents may understand that it is an opening trap so they may change their book against the king. The game only support my theory that books are not very important if you have a strong engine. A small book is needed only to escape from preperations of the opponent. lines like 1.Nc3 and 2.Nf3 are good enough if the opponent does not know them before the tournament and in the worst case(from chessmaster point of view) in case that rebel does not fall into the trap there could be a game when chessmaster has also chances to win thanks to the fact that it is a strong engine.
