What do you mean "nobody"? Everybody does do it all the time! And a wide book is even better, it shows what your search-object (engine) is capable of in a wide variety of positions, in stead of playing over and over and over the same few "proven" openings. If Crafty is mated in 12 moves in an irregular opening, wouldnt' that be interesting to know? Think about it. Best regards, Bas.
