The test is to avoid Nc2+ without book.

Jeroen claimed that the problem is that Tao had no book but I suspect that the
problem is the fact that Tao has no king attack evaluation and if you combine it
with the fact that Tao is weak in tactics like most of the chess programs you
can get the blunder.

I suspect that Gambittiger can avoid the mistake without book.
I suspect that Deep Junior without book can also avoid the blunder at the same
time control(assuming the hardware is good enough).

I am interested how much time does Gambittiger need to avoid the blunder and the
same question for the default tiger.

Both question without book because with book there is no problem.
