Thanks Wayne.

There are 2 things I can tell you:

1) you can force the program to play by pressing Ctrl-O (Ctrl and the letter O).
This shortcut is displayed when you move the mouse on the "move now" icon and
leave it there for one second. There are shortcuts available for many other
icons.

2) Don't forget to go to Extra->Options->Books and click on "Use engine books".
I know it has been said already, but it's just in case you or somebody else
missed it...
