Others would have played the same move. (shredder7). But WHAT you can blame is that from the moment the opponent chose 1.Nc3 almost ANYTHING in this game was forced. The engine had no chance. Nb5 brought it out of book. then some forced moves came where the engine could not do any other thing. then Bxb2, of course it takes this. and after O-O of course rebel takes on a1. Step by step the engine is REACTING on a scenario that was began when 1.Nc3 came. And WHY was this scenario clear ? because the line was in the book until Nb5 came. this line is in the commercial book. it's a mistake to have this line in the leiden-tournament book. because any program could have prepared a victory out of this line. this is the reason you use a DIFFERENT book when you play on a championship. a smaller and completely different book. this special small tournament book shall not contain OLD STUFF out of the commercial book. no - the engine had IMO no chance in this game.
