You can take the first position out of book of the programs if the positions after 15 moves are in the book. Sometimes programs are out of book only at move 20 but sometimes they are out of book in move 10. >Maybe it would be best, if computer chess developers and publishers would let >create a small, high quality, standard opening book to be used for such >tournament and comparison purposes by every program.

If you buy programs you can do games between them from the positions that you decide when every program plays the same positions with both colours. You can use last games of GM's to decide about the positions and I see nothing that programmers can do to stop you. Uri
