It only knows what it has played on the Internet, it just adds it all. I am not
unsatisfied with it, on the whole. In principle it won't fall twice for the same
bad line. The game against Tiger was not directly a book error, in the sense
that the book chose a bad move. There was one real book error against Morphy,
where a bookmove lost a pawn right away. But on the whole I am not unsatisfied
with the openingplay, considering the book is 150k and costed me zero work. It's
main pupose is allowing the king to castle and not eating bad gambit pawns :-)

Ciao,
Bas.
