This one is so much better for White, if a player likes uncommon openings:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Rb1 (Bb4). Brandon Jacobson's "wandering Rook" concept remains employed out there.
-0.1 evaluation in comparison with -2.4 for the original.
There's a variety of other ways to relocate a Rook on the first 8-9 moves while retaining -0.1 difference in assessment of position. :-)
