Only in a limited way, see my other post.
Tiger did not win one game out of the book.
Tiger is now out of book with positions Tiger is able to "understand" and win.
I am sure that many other programs also would have lots of trouble with the
small and unsound original book (AFAIK it is the LChess book), so no need to
question Tigers performance and reduce it to book efforts.
