A good chess player anticipates all the moves that could possibly happen and has a response to that move should it happen. I tend to side more with the philosophy that God has already the perfect solution to every problem should it arise, but doesn't necessarily know everything that will happen. Perhaps God wants to be surprised now and then.
How many people want to know how the movie ends prior to watching it? Maybe God doesn't like the ending to be spoiled either. It seems He enjoys a surprise now and then and actually, throughout Scripture you will also find that God will change his mind as a result of someone's intercession. Anyone who has read the Bible knows of multiple examples of God changing his mind.
Also, is God Omniscient?
(God had to test them to find out what was in their hearts? Didn't God already know every detail about what was in their hearts?)

- Genesis 11:4 -9 – Tower of Babel;: God “comes down” to see what the people are up to. 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. ( God came down to see?)
- Genesis 18:20-21 – “Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.”” (why does an omniscient God need to investigate anything?)
