    I'm incredibly impressed by how extensive this prep is. Just by looking at the bar on the right, there's at least 200 variations, and most of them have several hundred moves. This is absolutely insane. There's maybe a million moves in that file, probably covering everything, including the legendary "Rapport random BS" line

    What we know is, that it is:
    a) A06 - Reti opening
    b) 13 moves

      @@egberthuizinga4408 no, the Reti is 1. Nf3, not 1. e4. What you just said is indeed the Petrov opening, but this is not the content of Sam's file named "Rapport Random BS", because this one is a Reti opening line beginning with 1. Nf3. You can know it by the ECO code : A06 is a Reti

      It's about a single variation (that's what the files are) and most likely just talks about a single wacky line. Mot likely one where Rapport plays something odd but practical It's a light hearted comment about a weird variation. It's not an attack against the player you need to stop being so sensitive
