Hi Martin,

I agree with you.  But this is such a short tourney where every program changes
books and prepares cooked lines for a single opponent.  There is no principled
and purely "chessic" book in such tourneys.  This line, a transposed Ruy Lopez,
was just a way to take Rebel out of book, because Rebel's opening repertoire is
probably one of the best in computer chess.  But, let me say it again, you are
right in what you are saying.
