Subject: Idea for chess programs

Lets say 2 programs are playing a standard game. the opening books lead to
instant replies to move 20. then at move 20 your chess engine begins pondering
its move for 7 minutes and then it moves. The game ends in a win for your
program. Is there a danger to adding this 7 minute pondered move into an
extended type opening book file? So next time it plays this opening it will see
that for 7 minutes it saw this as the movelast time...so why waste 7 minutes
again reaching the same conclusion? play the move right away.
