and as for this cute idea that "oh my opponent wont play like an engine" think again.
1.if you are a strong aspiring player, your games and your playstyle will be available in the databases and people will study you.
2.even if you are a class player, imagine you are in tournament, say a round 4 of 5 and in the lead and your opponent has a whole afternoon knowing they will play against you. and a couple thousand dollars of price money are on the line. Anyone with half a brain will look up what you play and if you play stuff like this,you will be victim to 20 minutes of prep that would leave you in a dead lost position at worst or a moribund position at best. People WILL throw you the critical engine line, esp when lines have few viable sidelines like this stuff.
in an age of 3500 rated engines and cloud computing live book where you can import other people's analysis, you must always test an opening to the critical lines available agaisnt it since all it takes is a tiny bit of research for your opponent to proverbial throw the book at you. At that point you banking on your opponents ignorance to just get a playable position.
