Right, but if we want to compare Falcon (the engine) with Fritz (the engine),
then I have no problems with them using the same book.

I would go even further and use fixed start positions and flip them, also turn
learning off and play lots and lots of games.

Of course learning and good books is a big plus if you want to sell it as a
package, but not in an engine-engine test match where you want reproducable
results.
