        Oh sorry I was very unclear. I'm mostly wondering what was up with the first move was it the computationally perfect counter to The Dutchman's Clog Gambit or something?

          I believe it's just that this particular tournament requires you to actually start the game before forfeiting individual matches, so he plays one move and quits.
