The issue is not being a pawn up or down. The issue is that the book should steer the engine into a position where the moves it naturally selects are the best ones. I'd rather be a pawn down in a position where my engine plays the best moves, than be a pawn up and have it completely blow the position after a few moves. -- GCP
