If I 'know' that my opponent is adversarial, then I might assume that he's not picking from the set of 100 possible numbers, but actually from a smaller set of 'adversarial' numbers, like the set that will always take 6 or 7 guesses using the naive binary search approach, and I can adjust my strategy accordingly.

You should assume that your opponent is adversarial to your specific strategy.
