I can't see any logic to those two moves. Computer strength can vary
widely with what's going on with your computer (if you starve it for
proccesor cycles by running other power-hungry apps, you can get bizzare
play from even a strong program) and computers generally aren't that
great in the opening, and/or when the position is relatively closed (as
this one is.)

7. 0-0 is clearly vastly superior to 7.Kd1.

But honestly 5.Nce7 makes no sense, and f6 is pretty questionable, too.
