Thanks for your feedback Uri.
I did the match intentionally without books to test the engines as you said.
Sorry to not have included in my first post this setting of "no book".
I will repeat the test using a book "not default" as you suggest, but I'm
wondering why the results can be misleading...and I can tell you that the games
are always differents also without books.

w.b.r.
