I nkow why the books are there for the comps to use, but however i do not think
that a "regular" strong player 2000-2350 would be able to take advantage of the
comp not using it's book (not using anti comp play)
Some humans would be able too, but no more than the # of humans that could take
advantage of poorly contructed books! some humans would even find it harder to
play against a comp that went out of book early.
