I do not see it in the ssdf match against Deep Fritz.

I think that a bigger book may help for autoplayer tournament because the
program with the bigger book can find after enough games an opening when the
opponent has no good answer to it.

I think that it may be a good idea to use some fixed positions similiar to the
nunn match for autoplayer games(I do not suggest the nunn match position because
they are known positions and it is better to use positions after 10-15 moves
from grandmasters games).
