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.
