I will have to look.  One thing would be "drawscore=0".  I will have to look
at what else "computer" sets besides the book.

But in any case, book width 5 is _not_ good...  for the first few moves it
would be fine, but as you walk down a book line, the number of games goes
down, and you will _always_ find a position where there is one _real_ book
move and 4 lemons.  And the probability will catch up with you soon and you
choose a lemon every time.
