I mean to say that the engine book has different moves.

I also do not understand the reason that 8.f3 is marked with a - in the GUI
book.

If 8.f3 is good for the engine then the authors do not believe that it is a bad
move so there is no reason to give - to this move assuming that the gui book is
a general book.

I can understand cases when good moves are marked with a - for the engine move
because the engine does not like the move but not the opposite case when good
moves are marked with a - in the gui book.
