Well if you could adjust the book all the way to the end of the game, in other words a perfect 200 move opening book you would have solved chess. Short of that, style is important along with king safety ....etc. Once out of book the Genius 5 style is hard to defeat by humans whereas the style of Fritz 5 opens itself up to positional sacs which defeat Fritz 5. Sometimes you don't even have to sac against Fritz 5, it will beat itself trying to sac against you. However against other programs Fritz 5 will often win by outsearching them. Computer and human chess are very different, therefore style counts a lot.
