I have no idea. I checked it now. There must have been s.th. wrong in the
opening book setup. Tournament moves are 6...e7-e6 (d) and 6...Nd7-b6 (e) so
those moves will be played preferably. The other book moves, c6-c5, Qd8-b6,
h7-h6, Qd8-c7, e7-e5 and g7-g6 have no flag for tournament move.

And after 7.Ne6 MCP starts to calculate and certainly does not play that ugly
fxe6??. After 5 minutes on my K7-600 best move is Qa5 with -0.09/11.

I suspect setup problem or autoplayer-influence.
This leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. How many other games have been played
with a wrong setup? I know that your example is a very tough one, but who can
tell that the source for this did not harm some other programs in some other
games?
