Human help before the game is allowed.

Even if a program calculated Nxe6 and does not play it in 0 seconds it does not
say that it did not do it because of book.

It can use the book to give bonus in the evaluation to positions after Nxe6.

It is logical to use book in this way if you want to avoid stupid blunders in
book but you do not want to avoid using book because the fact that humans got
good result with a move also tells you things about the move.

Rebel can use EOC in a similiar way.

I am sure that humans also do it in games when they remember the book moves but
search because they are not sure if the book move is best.
